Anti-Seize Compound Payback Years later

I've pulled the pumps on my V-12 and I could not remember this "hidden" bolt you all are talking about so I googled some images of the V-8 pump. Wow... that was an interesting design decision, glad that bit of ingenuity didn't transfer to Lincoln.

"anti seize" It is just obviously considered a lubricant? The fact that is not listed
has me wondering.

There is a lot of information on this to be found on the internet if you are interested. From some of the clamping force testing that has been done anti-seize is a bigger deal than something like oil, meaning the torque has to be reduced more with anti-seize to prevent over torqueing. I has seen suggestions of 35 to 50% reduction required. This is one of those subject like oil additivities where everyone is going to have a different post of view. The point is keep the anti-seize off of anything requiring critical torque values, such as rod bolts/nuts, head bolts, main bolts/nuts, etc.
