From what I understand, Copper antiseize is the best to use.

The Loctite product is rated 200 deg higher than the Permatex, so it looks like a winner. I have a bottle of the Permatex and have used it to keep spark plugs from seizing, but maybe the copper stuff is best for the exhaust side.

Hmmmmm, if I'm not mistaken, Loctite and Permatex have been the same company for years.

Permatex purchases a few specific sealing products directly from Henkel and relabels it as their own stuff. Loctite however is a product line manufactured by Henkel, sold as straight up as Loctite. Sorry, these are semantics.. |

I found these when I was installing the 914 motor into my 68 fastie. They have a 12mm head and are flanged. The flanged surface has locking ridges. I don't know of anyone using something like this so I'm keeping an eye on them. It's been almost 2000 mi. and all is well so far.

I wonder if this is something we could put in a request for from McMaster-Carr? I would think since they have every other fastener known to man, they might be able to find the heli-coil nuts. I'd be willing to do the leg work.
