[Public-List] Exhaust iron/steel pipe thread sealant

[Michael]

Lately I have been binge watching Road Kill Garage and was pleased to 
hear one of the gearheads on the show does what I do- don't seal things 
up, make it so they come apart,in the future. I never seize everything, 
including hoses. Dulchich (the gear head), uses grease, but same thing.
Mike L's suggestion is a good one.
