Interesting, I wonder if it is based on the same type of effect you get from the old-school bearing grease method? where its not so much that the sealant keeps the seal but the effects of heat cycling it forms something with a stronger bond.

Also, based on the first post, we have not discussed turbine outlet at all. I personally have only had issues with the inlet (4 bolt gasket). Mike do you have any thoughts/plans for changing your methods there? stick with M8 inconel and SS nuts?

EDIT: this p/n NISSAN 14064-N4200 has been replaced (according to a couple nissan parts pages) 14064-N420A
EDIT(2): it seems this p/n references an m10 stud, can anyone verify?

My next question, excuse my ignorance, when talking about studs inconel vs. (high grade/10.9 steel?) what color are the inconel ones? I am familiar with the studs being black, is the inconel stuff more gold/silver.
