Coating a header with anti seize. Anyone on here ever heard of this or tried it?
Sounds plausible, but...
"when you apply the anti seize use either a cotton diaper , a cotton t-shirt or those paint applicators with a foam applicator pad . when applying the anti-seize wipe the anti-seize onto the header almost like you're applying shoe polish to you shoes and completely cover the header and let it air dry for about a 1/2 hour and then re-apply a 2nd coat .next with a garbage bag large enough to cover the header with the open end at the header flange and then carefully install the header onto the motor , once it's installed remove the garbage bag .next start the motor up and wait for the header to start smoking then shut the engine off for 10-15 minutes .repeat this process of starting the engine and waiting to the header starts smoking then turning the engine off 4 times .after about the 4th time you notice the smoke diminishing and that will indicate that the anti-seize coating has melted into the pores of the header tubes effectively curing the anti seize
now about every year or so you'll notice some slight discoloration of the header tubes nearest the cyl head ports . just re-apply more anti-seize to that area and the header will look brand new once again"
