Manifold bolts - Copper grease?

[Dalamar]

When replacing the manifold bolts with the standard steel bolts is it ok to use a bit of copper grease when refitting? Just for ease of removal in the future.

Standard Nordlock washers are only rater to 200c they do a Stainless version that is more suitable.

Yes, but not copper-slip worth using

Thanks everyone. I’ll pick up a pot of ceramic grease and give it a go. I’ve never used that before but it looks like good stuff.
