Super Jet Antisieze on FP screws?

[be_lain]

I have seen plenty of used b pipes on here (as I’m sure you have) and there is always concern over stuck screws. I just bought a brand new mod pipe setup for my build and am thinking I should put antisieze on the screws to avoid this. I’ll be in the surf quite a bit. Any thoughts? Good idea or am I just a dummy?

Seizure isnt the issue with the screws, carbon build up and corrosion is what plagues the tiny threads. Grease them up and service from time to time.

^^^^ what he said...

And you have it correct, apply anti seize

Put stuff on them so things don’t happen

also doesnt hurt to remove the screws, clean out the hole and re anti seize the screws to keep them from seizing up. i think it even says that in the instructions. also for surf i always spray the entire engine bay down with wd40 before and after riding

to add, fp does not adequately chamfer before they tap the the threads for the bleed screws. This creates a raised edge that easily corrodes and locks up. I chamfer(countersink) all new pipes, chase the threads, and apply anti seize. No problem since.

Definitely put anti seize on them , I always have and never ever had a stuck screw , I ride 100% salt water also

Its also not a bad idea to run a tap through the accessible holes once in a while when re-greasing the screws.

Low priced, generic anti seize compound has been quite salt water resistant for me.

I only have fresh water to play in up here but when I did an overhaul of my FP (new screws & repaint), I wrapped the screws with a good quality teflon tape. It has been a little over a year now and those screws move just like they were freshly installed.
