[QUOTE="oexing, post: 172110, member: 1493"] I never had any troubles wirth stainless fasteners, but you definitely lubricate threads - as you should when having same material bolted up with itself. BMW owners will know when undoing the ex pipe finned alu nuts screwed onto alu heads. This has been a BMW tradition for decades - I mean having to weld wrecked alu threads on heads . Same would happen with unplated steel fasteners, screw and nut - unless you got galvanized types which is almost standard in shops and the zinc or cadmium coat acts like lube. For lubricating ss fasteners or high heat applications when grease will go up in smoke I get MoS2 grease or finest powder , don´t have much faith in copper based lube. In my photo you can see NATO type MoS2 grease and powder from our army supply, so this must be allright . . . . See the blueish dark grey colour, the products in Aliexpress pictures look a bit like graphite which I would not want in my engines being slightly abrasive. The ultrafine MoS2 powder is added in the BMW gearboxes front and rear as they are heavily loaded from the torque of the big bore 734cc alu cylinders. Standard was 500 and 600 cc on Earles types. So far I had no more troubles from that side, hypoid gear oil plus MoS2 powder looking after them.
