450S

Exhaust studs, Anti-seize or Locktite?

Recommended Posts

I just finished extracting a broken exhaust stud from the head on my 450 by welding a washer and nut to it. I got lucky and didn't have to drill it out.

 

Now that I am about to install the new OEM Honda studs I was wondering what does everyone else use for their exhaust studs, a thread locker, anti-seize or nothing?

I don't put anything on mine.  I have had to double nut several of them to get them out that have been buggered up, which I replaced with new ones.

i wouldn’t think any material would last—all that heat.
 

lubing the threads could be a bad idea and result in over torquing of the header nut. then ruining the copper gaskets. My thought is that riding the quad often will prevent rusty nuts.
