Anti-Seize

[ATH]

Yeah, I understand and should have been a bit more concise. They recommend NOTHING on the threads. They said any stuff added to the threads collects carbon residue and etc.

I'd be interested to read the exact verbiage. Sounds like a great way to spend many hours trying to get stuff apart. Once I started being liberal with anti seize I stopped having problems. You don't get carbon infiltrating mated threads. You do get it welding the outside surface of dry threads together.

Yes, I always use anti seize, one every threaded part. And every time I take them apart, I clean them off, and remove carbon, and anti seize 'em back up before assembly.

Call them. See if you get the same answer as I did.
