Re: Proofing against corrosion with threads?

[billw]

Just to throw this thought into the mix: Yamaha (I know; who cares) often calls for white pipe thread sealant, PTFE I think it’s called, for their corrosion prone bolt areas. We have been doing a bunch of blown-up F350 power head jobs lately. (Despite what the communist "Consumer Reports" might say, the Japanese are not perfect, either.) We have to take the entire mid sections apart, to clean out the oil pan, which resides there. You can smell the PTFE when you take the bolts out. They actually use some at the factory! It seems to work pretty well….

Long live American manufacturing!
