2023-09-16 at 3:59 PM UTCa.k.a How reading makes your life worse.
what I needed: a cheap anti seize for my exhaust manifold bolts.
what i got: days of reading over hundreds of pages and an encyclopedic knowledges of anti seizes and half a dozen different anti seizes in my e-cart.
still no actual descision of which to buy. -

2023-09-16 at 4:09 PM UTCi was already thinking of cheaping out by just lubing the bolts with regular grease and scrawl along it with carpenters' pencil so its covered in an emulsion of graphite powder and grease,

does it know i intended to use it with an austenitic bolt in an aluminum head ? -
2023-09-16 at 4:22 PM UTCI didn't ask. Also bing is pretty shit
gpt says"Using anti-seize compound with an austenitic (stainless steel) bolt in an aluminum head is a good practice, especially in automotive applications. Stainless steel bolts and aluminum can sometimes experience galvanic corrosion when in contact, making them difficult to remove in the future. The anti-seize compound acts as a barrier to prevent this corrosion and makes it easier to disassemble the components when needed.
Ensure you apply the anti-seize compound sparingly and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for application to ensure proper effectiveness. This should help prevent future issues with removing the bolts from the aluminum head.
A cost-effective option for anti-seize compound is to use a copper-based or aluminum-based anti-seize. These are typically more affordable compared to some of the high-end, specialized anti-seize products.
You can find these copper or aluminum-based anti-seize compounds at most auto parts stores, hardware stores, or online retailers. Popular brands include Permatex, CRC, and Loctite.
When using an anti-seize compound, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application to get the best results and corrosion prevention."
I think it might be hallucinating though -

God invented YouTube to help people avoid the need to read instruction manuals.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2023-09-17 at 1:31 PM UTCI always youtube it when I use to need to reset oil reminder lights on cars. Some are complicated and the owner manuals usually completely useless.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

the trick is to spray penetrating oil days before loosening them, unscrew the bolt 5-10° at a time and do it like sex, forward, backward, forward, backward, until its loose, then proceed to unscrew another 5-10°.
thats how i usually do it.
anyway ive decided, liqui moly copper paste will it be,The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Yeah but these already broke about 1/4 inch inside the head. If your lucky they are not seized up and not hard to get out but sometimes you just have to drill em and rethread. Also I found using a Torx driven into the bolt works better than most extractors. -

i thought it was you who broke it. -
2023-09-17 at 4:29 PM UTCNah, it's the reason for the exhaust leak he wanted fixed. A real pain in the ass drilling out with the engine in the truck. Lucky my friend has one of those drills with attachments to drill at different angles.
