Hi guys,

I had a throttle body gasket leak, replaced that and now bolting back the TB to the intake manifold.

I was wondering, should I use anti-seize on the 4 bolts, or some regular grease, or nothing?

What do you guys recommend and use?

Also, for the Throttle body gasket, do you guys apply a bit of gasket sealer as well, or just slap on the new gasket and bolt it together?

Thanks!

 

Nothing on the gasket, as long as its new they seal fine. A little bit of anti-seize on the bolts won't hurt anything. Don't use grease; grease will liquefy with heat, drip out, and make a mess.

 

i always do a slight smear of copper eaze on all threads, just to make it easy to unscrew, just don't have it squirting out of the hole when you screw in.

 

Alright, thanks for the info guys.
