Jeff,
Long ago, when GM was building the first 215s, a so-called "Special
Thread Lubricant" was recommended and supplied by GM. It looked like a
thick black syrup and in no way resembled modern anti-sieze compounds I
have seen. I have no idea what it might have been chemically. The point
is, though, that something should indeed be used! The question is, what?
It seems there was a discussion of this subject within the last year here
but I can't recall what the consensus was at that time. I'm sure somebody
else can help us out. I am also very curious as to what the "modern"
solution might be.
Cheers.
Dave Kernberger
