Stainless engine bolts

Is there any downside to using stainless bolts for things such as intake,valve covers and water pump?

If there is, I'm in a world of trouble!

Only if you don't use anti-seize on them.

I like the stuff out of the per pound parts bin. Grade 5 is the $hit!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^that was post 1000. That's a lot of bs from an idiot like me.


Sorry, carry on with the stainless bolt thread. we run them in our engine and wheels with thread lock.

Anti seize is always a must ,especially when you use stainless w/alum. Gold for high heat areas. It is money well spent
