RE: Stainless bolts into aluminum |

Stainless steel bolts into aluminum can be done, and header bolts are probably ne of the best applications. The problem comes about when thare is moisture present, creating a cell snf the heat present on the exhaust side of the head would keet the moisture at bay. To insure that there won't be any problem, use Neverseez (a Loctite product) on the bolts. This comes in several types (moly nickel zinc and alumimum filled), and the zinc filled is best for the Al/CRES mate. Helicoils are frequently used in Al, and they are made of a 400 series stainless. |
