[QUOTE="oexing, post: 176755, member: 1493"] Yes, clamping the BMW pipes is main job, but sealing as well. The close fit way down the head is for one good reason, the pipe has to shield the head from exhaust gases for keeping it cool. So no excessive contact of pipe to head is wanted, a bit more clearance would be even better. What sort of lube was common in BMW workshops you had seen ? I do have MoS2 paste on all alu threads and on all stainless, spark plugs too. Unless Loctite has to be for securing screws. So with solid content grease no extra service on the alu threads should be necessary, does not burn off. Vic [/QUOTE]
