Lundgren" <Lundgren@iname.com>; Date: Tue, 23 May 2000 11:42:04 -0600 (MDT); Anti-seize is good to use because the metals will bond together, the AL does not melt.

If so the exposed turns could fill up with hard crud that effectively 'taps' a little more out of the head. Could just be an aluminium 'shin; /html/mgs/2000-05/msg00971.html (7,803 bytes)
