For automotive applications the anti'seize works best for exhaust parts. The manifolds back are constantly getting REALLY hot, cooling, and back and forth constantly. If you use an anti seize product on the bolts they will come apart like they went on and you won't have to use a torch on them.

Unflavored milk of magnesia is great for exhaust applications. We use it on bolts in the hot sections of turbine engines.
They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety.

Hi guys,
I got my delivery from McMaster Carr today. The MMC part number is 1821A38 for the Loctite brand, marine grade anti-seize in the 8 oz can. Unfortunately, the expiration date was 12/13/2009. I called them and they pulled the old stuff off the shelf and ordered new stuff from Loctite. I should have mine within a week. Anyone looking to purchase some should hold off for a few days and make sure you get the new batch. I think this was a very informative discussion thread and may have saved me a lot of problems down the road. Thanks
Joe

I still have a partial jar of never seize that I bought in the 60's. Although some of it has migrated to almost everywhere, there is still a good bit in the jar and it "looks" the same as always. I haven't used any in a while. Last time I used it was in the early 80's and I needed to drop the exhaust after a while and it worked like a charm.

I thought it was pretty strange myself but there it was right on the cap. I want to see what the new stuff looks like compared to the "expired" stuff before I trash it. I can't imagine an expiration date on something like anti-seize compound but hey, you learn something new every day.

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. I'd try the unflavored milk of magnesia before the other stuff.

I called Tech services at Loctite this morning about the expiration date on the lid. They said that the product does not "expire" while in use. It has to do with product testing for the warranty. Testing is done on products up to a certain amount of time spent in inventory. No warranty testing is done after that and they don't say that the product dosen't work just that there is no warranty after the expiration date. I also asked specificly about use on stainless steel and steel bolts in an aluminum outboard motor and they said that the Loctite marine grade anti-seize would work fine for this purpose. The tech services number for Loctite is 800-562-8483, 8:00-5:00 EST if anyone wants to dig a little deeper.
