Never on header pipe flange to head or the stud nuts that hold the header plates at the attachment to the heads. Why not? - I have been doing this for the last 10-12 years - works a treat - no problems - eases all the alignments and ensures non galling removal of exhaust nuts. Whats not to like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the horizontally aircraft engine are even more different again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top marks for so doing - you are allowed to go "the extra mile" - as long as it doesn't result in a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
