Works Great - Smells Awful! :)

Works great, smells awful. But you should expect that. Just keep in mind that a little goes a loooooong way! You only need a very small amount to accomplish the job. One tip is to place a very small amount on the threads, then twist it through a lintless cloth to evenly distribute throughout the threads. It doesn't need to be perfect as it will distribute when being tightened. Also keep in mind that this can change the torque limits. I won’t even try to do the math here. But quick research shows that you should reduce the torque value anywhere from 25% - 40% (or slightly more or less, depending on the materials, temperature, and environmental conditions). So do your research before tightening down - you don't want to strip any threads!

A little goes a long way

Great stuff. I use it to lube the face of my wheelhubs before installing brake rotors, sparkplug threads, lugnut threads, and any other fasteners I can think of that is prone to becoming rust welded together. For everything else that needs to be securely held together I’ll use Loctite. Great for use on bicycle components too.

Keeps wheels from bonding to hub.

Another one of those products, that I only think about when I'm actively doing work. In my case taking my tire off to check brakes, or some other rattle on a used car. But, can't take my wheel off, because it has become one with the hub. Applied a little of this and the next time, no wheel and hub bond. Makes car maintenance easier if you like to go and fiddle with old tank.

Saves a lot of time and headache..

When attaching threaded fasteners that are prone to corrosion or rust on machinery that's exposed to the elements, you're asking for big trouble if you don't coat the treads with anti-seize compound. Rusted or corroded parts are very difficult and frustrating to remove. The anti-seize coating makes the removal and fastening job much easier. This stuff is great and is worth its weight in gold!

This is slightly different colored from the copper anti-seize lubricant that you typically find, but it works just as well. Two years after application, I was able to unbolt my calipers from the hub fairly easily, and they can still be seen on the threads. Does the job and this size tube is actually enough to last you for a good number of years. A little of this goes a long way.

Just what the doctor ordered.

I applied a coating of this product on the threads of the nuts and bolts needed to install a new catalytic converter. The original nuts and bolts were so rusted they had to be cut before the pipe piece with the converter could be removed. Moreover, the mating flanges of old converter pipe were rust-fused to the B-pipe, so after a good cleaning these mating surfaces were also coated to prevent any more rust-fusing to the new converter. Great product.

I Would Not Install Spark Plugs Without This

I wouldn't install spark plugs without using this type of lubricant, especially when installing into an aluminum block. The plugs went in much easier then they came out. Starting and threading the plugs all the way in by hand was very easy and no chance of damage to the engine block or the plugs. I installed 16 plugs in my "06" Hemi and I used about 10% of the tube, a little goes a long way, even applying it the the entire threaded portion of the spark plug.

Perfect for new Bosch iridium plugs in the aluminum heads of a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire

I used the 81343 to replace 12 plugs in the aluminum heads of a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire. For those familiar, these plugs are a famous bitch to access. With 123,000 miles and a suspect maintenance history, and was very worried with the force it took to remove the old plugs and the squeaking noises as the plugs complained about being removed. A busted plug is a special sort of nightmare for this Mercedes engine. I applied the 81343, and all 12 plugs could be screwed in with fingers all the way to the crush washer.

Worth the extra step

Prompt shipping and well packaged. I originally purchased this for changing the spark plugs on an old Mustang, and when I had to use a pipe for extra torque to remove the old plugs, I realized the importance of using this on these jobs. As I worked my way around the car on other requirements, such as the belts and pulleys and their corresponding hardware, I discovered how beneficial it was to take the time to use this anti-seize. A few months later when I had to pull the water housing to change a faulty thermostat, the compound was still in perfect condition, including on the bolts that were attached to the block and subject to the most extreme temperature variances. I have used this everytime I work on something that involves even the possibility of return maintenance.

Good Lub for the threads of the spark plugs.

Used to help change my spark plugs in my 2013 Honda Accord. Only time will tell if this product works, and that will be when my Honda goes another 60K miles. I doubt I'll still own the car, so we'll see. My only caution is that you wear rubber gloves as the lubricant, silver in color, got all over my fingers and spark plugs when I was trying to apply it. It comes out of the tube too fast. Would recommend though.
