If you don't want to seize up you better use anti seize. Mechanics use this on bolts so they can remove them easier. If you twist off a a bolt head that just ruins a day.
Ah, yes, remember the stuff, I used a local brand.
============== Since 1909, quality Permatex® products have been used in workshops around the world.
The first Permatex product was a shellac designed to bond bicycle tires to their rims. Constant A. Benoit Sr. founder of the Permatex Company, enjoyed going to car races in his spare time. In 1915 Mr. Benoit attended a 24-hour endurance race at the Sheepshead Bay track near his Brooklyn New York laboratory. He observed that many of the cars were forced to make frequent pit stops to replace blown cylinder head gaskets.
The mechanic for driver Ralph DePalma's car sought Mr. Benoit's help after Mr. DePalma's car blew its head gasket for the fourth time. Mr. Benoit applied some of his experimental gasket cement and the DePalma car drove the rest of the 24-hour race without any further gasket problems. On that day, Permatex entered the automotive maintenance chemicals business. The Permatex Company became one of the early leaders in using professional auto racing to prove product performance and to promote sales.
In 1936, the very famous American stock-car driver Bill France, Sr., assembled a racing engine using only Permatex Form-A-Gasket® products. Later Milt Marion won the first race at the Daytona Beach Road Course with car number 23, the "Permatex 300" NASCAR race at the Daytona International Speedway became one of America's premier racing events. In the mid 1970's Bobby Allison, one of NASCAR's superstars built a late model Chevrolet sportsman engine entirely with Permatex brand threadlockers. The car, built without a single cut gasket or lockwasher, ran 300 miles at Talladega Motor Speedway (America's fastest super speedway at record speeds).
Constant Benoit died in 1950 and his son Pete took over the Permatex Company. Pete shifted the company's manufacturing plant from Brooklyn, New York to Kansas City in 1954 - to take advantage of a more central shipping location. Pete Benoit preferred Florida's sunny climate, so he moved the company headquarters to West Palm Beach in 1962. In 1963, the Automotive Warehouse Distributor's Association (AWDA) honored him with their prestigious Automotive Man of the Year award. Soon the Permatex Company built a 12,000 square foot corporate and international sales office in West Palm Beach.
