Smokes like crazy when you start it up but leaves a nice graphite coating that's easy to touch up. just brush on a little more anti-seize.
It's cheap & easy, it works great and lasts a long time.
old Hotrodder trick  |
I used Copper gasket sealer in a spray can on my 327 manifolds. I read that in an old hot rod book too. The only problem is they are hard to bolt on after you spray them because it doesn't dry. Stayed on really good though, after it baked on, and they didn't rust.
