Ramhorn Exhaust Manifold Nut
Can I use either of these on my ramhorns or could I use the brass first then lock it with the zinc coupler?
Thanks

Locking it with the coupler is defeating the purpose of the brass nut,not siezing on the stud.The coupler may sieze and you still have the problem.If you're gonna lock it use another brass nut.

The brass nut will help keep it from seizing and causing heartache down the road. I also like to smear anti-sieze onto the threads as well as useing brass nuts.
Anti-sieze can be bought in most parts stores. I comes in a tube like silicone does, or a small bottle with a brush like old Elmer's brush on glue that you used to eat in school.
