RE: them exhaust studddddddddds

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I was installing the engine in the car I used what the machinist 
suggested.  When they leaked I posted here and got the advice from Don 
on the Ultra Copper.  I had leaks with the Ultra Copper on a couple even 
after letting it sit overnight. A couple I had to re-do more than once 
with the Ultra Copper.  And I used a generous amount.  BTW I am using 
Schumacher Tri-Y headers, nice heavy flanges.
