Im gonna be reattaching my exhaust system soon and I dont wanna have to break off the bolts again Ill be using factory Mazda bolts, but what kind of antiseize should I use so that the bolts wont "back out" on their own, but still be easy to remove time and time again?

 

any anti-seize that prevents "galling" of the threads... thats what break studs/bolts on engines most of the time.

 

Use Nickle-eze. It's silver in color and can withstand heat up to 2400f. We use it in the Refinery on heat exchangers with nuts the size of basball gloves and they come back apart easier during shutdowns.


Note - below is by the CASE only. You can find it separate. Should be @ $8 a can

Where do I buy these exhaust bolts from since Mazda doesnt sell them seperatley? I read 1 thread that said they are M10x1.25 or M10x1.5 does anybody know for sure?

 

i got my copper clad exhaust nuts from pineapple racing. Should work out great.

 

Nickle antiseize FTW. For when copper just doesnt cut it.

I have some lock washers so that way the exhaust bolts dont " back out" over time, but can the bolt be removed again in the future if it has lock washers?

 

Where do you find the cans? I've looked at automotive stores in my area and the only thing they sell is permatex.

 

Nickel anti-sieze is available by the single can at mcmaster.com
Individual studs and nuts are available from Mazda. Call Ray Crowe
