Header assembly lube?

[mike_starling]

Guys,

Anything that can be used to lubricate the assembly of ceramic coatede bundle of snake headers that won't cause terrible discoloration when the engine is fired?

Could something like high temp nickel-bearing anti-sieze (thermo plate) be used and the outside wiped off before the engine is started?

Trying to make the job of checking for fit a bit easier ... without laying land mines for later.

Thanks,

Never-seez. (A loctite product I think) does not discolour or show any evidence of its use. Last basically forever

Agree. Anti-seeze
