Jgspahn Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I guess to each his own. I have never had an issue with stainless bolts. Personally I think people over tighten them and this causes issues. I have put together several motors and a few bikes and all my fasteners are stainless. Never a drop of anti seize on any of them Mostly blue Loctite and on occasion a little red. Green retaining compound on bearings and such. Lapping compound on the flywheel to crank, grease on all my lip seals, never any anti seize. Like I said to each his own, I wont knock it if it works for you, but I am gonna continue to practice what works for me. Guess that leaves the decision up to each person. Not sure your gonna get a general consensus here to prove one way is better than another. SP Makes sense.. if i put anti seize on them would they be more likely to back out?

spurdy Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Guys at our factory swear by mixing anti seize and locktite. Makes no sense to me and I have never tried it. But that's how they assemble stainless bolts into plated steel and aluminum. Must be a German thing or something....lol! SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
