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
