Re: Exhaust manifolds????

a couple of wraps of teflon tape would be fine and cheapest. zero curing time.

I used some of the copper Permatex RTV... 5 years ago...holding up fine.

Cast iron manifold/brass plug.... You could probably get a good enough seal without anything, but I use either PTFE tape or Loctite 565...
