>From what i was told by my metal working guy that has helped me with the car, you do not want to use stainless steel studs, bolts, etc with aulmnium. When the two are combined a chemical reaction takes place, and the block with start to oxidize very quickly, fusing the stud, bolt etc in the block. This is why I believe Grady uses standard bolts that have been plated instead of SS ones for the engine. I do heavly agree with the anti sieze ;) - Shain #10140 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Mike Griese" <mike.griese@xxxx> wrote: > Stian > > There really isn't a fix for this problem.
