[QUOTE=SicMonte;785251]This is what happens when you don't use anti-seize on ARP Stainless Steel bolts
Did you use any air tools when you put them on? Anti seize and wax will help but if you use air tools all bets are off. LOL I did the same thing and then called a friend who sells SS for a living. He said any air tools will make the metals gaul (sp)
