Re: Exhaust Cover Bolts

[Monte NZ]

Down here in NZ I have been using a product called Fisholene for avoiding studs rusting and seizing on outboards and cars for over 50years and my Grandfather and my Dad also used it over 80years ago. It isn’t expensive and last well in storage.
I understand that this is a fish oil product. I have never had any problem undoing studs or nuts made of stainless or ordinary steel that have been installed with fisholene.
It has a strong smell, (which the ladies don’t like) but this goes after a few days.
I just dip the stud into it, install and tighten and wipe off the excess.
After a few days it goes into a gum and never goes hard. Excess can still be wiped off with a rag and turpentine at this point.
After it has gone gummy you can paint over it.
The fact that it goes gummy is good too, in that it stops studs from undoing and falling out.
One point to remember is to always hang up rags to air to avoid spontaneous combustion, as it is an oil product.
In NZ they sell it in rattle cans.
I hope you can get it in your area, because I am sure you will find it works well.
