Re: them exhaust studddddddddds

[Don Dulmage <big-d@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Forgive me but I dont care what other have said. As an engine builder I can 
not afford to have a engine leaking antifreezein any amount and despite all 
the advice to the negative it does work and work well.  I dont have anyone 
calling today for instance telling me their studs are still leaking. If used 
first t works better because there is not some other goop in the hole. I 
smear the stud or bolt as they go in and let them sit dry overnote or the 
equivalent.
The last time i dealt with this it was my nephew and my nieces husband 
working on a 383 install in a 94 Dakota. We were at a wedding and they drove 
thetruck . It would drip when shut off. I repeated my advice and was met 
with "we tried plumbers tape , we tried pipe sealant we tried locktite." My 
response was "i already told  you how to fix it. if you refuse to do that 
then i cant help you. "
I heard later from my brother that Uncle Don was pretty direct and showed no 
sympathy. Anyway they tried it. That was a year and a half ago. No 
leaks.now. Remember I did this for a living. It is not a hobby , welll it is 
now but i spent 40 + years earning my living this way. And i have used it on 
aluminum heads too and we still have them although I would try Ultra grey 
and would use it if it worked as well. I like to use studs where I can since 
they are much better at holding . I know sometimes I come offas highly 
opiniated. it is something in my blood or blut I think but always remember I 
am trying to help you.  If I answer it is because i have been there and 
dealt with the problem succcessfully. Anyway I have it on my 63 Dodge with 
Hooker supercomps and keep it in stock even now. Why? Because it works.

I had a b***h of a time getting my exhaust studs/bolts to seal on my
440.  I used what my machinist suggested which leaked.  I used Don's
suggestion of the Permatex Ultra Copper which I ended up re-doing more
than once on one or two stubborn ones.  I tried bolts.  I tried studs.
I ended up with a combination of the two.  I eventually got it but there
was a lot of "blue air" in my garage getting there.  I talked to my
machinist about it as there was one in particular where the threads were
suspect.  He said he was sure all of the threads were good and added
that you shouldn't use the Ultra Copper because silicone & anti-freeze
"don't get along".  So far so good but I have very few hours on the
rebuild.
