I have never paid much attention and have bought anti sieze at the auto part store, probably based on the first thing I grabbed, or price.
The latest project I am addressing, is my exhaust manifold leaks, and am going the header route in hopes to only deal with this problem 1 last and final time, so I went to buy some "high temp" anti-seize and seen way too many choices on the shelf, so I thought I would ask the experts??
there is copper high temp anti-seize, there is nickle anti-seize, there is aluminum anti-seize, white anti-seize, and even Marine Grade Anti-seize.
What would be best for the header bolts/studs?

John,
I have used both the nickel and copper based anti-seize products. The nickel is good up to 2200F and the copper to 1800F.

If you have an O2 sensor, get the nickel. The original copper was Fel=Pro C5 and it contained lead. I have only used nickel for the last several decades.

Jon,
Keep in mind that coating the bolts with anti-seize WILL require lowering the amount of torque you use on the header retaining
bolts.
I have no idea how much.

Minus 12 to 15% is the number that I use.

In the aviation industry that I work in, we use the nickel based "Never Seez" almost exclusively. The two main reasons being that it is the most compatible with the metals used in the industry, and it has a higher temp rating than most other anti-seize products.
Copper anti-seize is not friendly with certain metals like titanium.
I personally use both the copper and nickel based ant-seize at home, but prefer the nickel on all my exhaust fasteners.

Would the nickel silver anti seize be good for the oil sending unit and the water temp probe?

For the sending units, I generally use some sort of teflon based thread sealing paste. Never tried anti-seize on those, but I would think it would not seal...

Anti seez is for the most part a conductor of electricity. The sending
units need a good ground, and they have tapered threads that are fluid
tight if properly tightened into good threads. Teflon tape, while an
excellent sealant, is a poor conductor, as is Teflon pipe dope. Some of
these old Olds manifolds are getting ragged in the threads from corrosion
and lots of use. That presents a problem in the sealing department when
never seez is used. No perfect answer here, I guess.

Sorry Matt, but it's not new C-5A. This can was given to me back in 1986 when we stopped using it on the Lear Jet wheels because it flew off and got all over everything (and the brakes!) when the techs used it on the wheel bolts. Supervisor told me to "get that can of stuff off this facility now" . So I took it out and locked it in my car and we used LubTork on the bolts after that. The LubTork is more like toothpaste and kinda difficult to cover the bolts with, but that was the wheel manufacturer's choice in the first place. Incidentally, there was not supposed to be any anti-seize on the bolt threads, just on the shoulder that went through the wheel halves and the washer faces.
Still have the can of C-5A, and it's still messy, and it still works well on other fasteners and as a lube on a screw press or puller.

On sending units I use the silver stuff Advanced gives you with new sparking plugs. Not a Teflon <tm> fan where conductivity is needed.

I've never had a problem with the teflon paste on senders. When you thread it in, enough of it gets squeezed out from where it is metal on metal that there is good contact. The paste only fills the gaps. No metal to metal contact at the gaps anyway. And if your threads are so shot that there is no metal on metal, you have other problems...

Same with me--I use teflon tape, being very careful not to let it overlap
the tip where it can come off in the system. I've never had a problem with
electrical connections.

Rich,
Teflon tape on fitting should start 1 to 1 1/2 threads from the end of the fittings and there should be no more than two wraps.
Above info courtesy of the United States Air Force Mechanical Accessories Repairman ABR 42231 course, Chanute AFB, Rantoul, Illinois
December 1964 - March 1965.
In case ya'll were wondering that career field included the following aircraft systems: air conditioning, pressurization, engine
bleed air, flight surface anti-icing, oxygen (liquid & gaseous), pneumatic powered constant speed generator drives, engine starters.
Anything else (non Avionic) that the electrical or hydraulic shops didn't repair.

Rich,
Rob’s explanation on how to use teflon tape be it the thin, or heavier or the yellow tape is an excellent method to follow. The company that I worked for 34 years (Retired 2006), DOW about 25 years ago banned the use of teflon tape in air and instrument process control equipment as we were finding it downstream of the point of installation and into the process control systems and measurement instruments. I still only use the paste on most applications and do use the tape on some applications. If you take a fitting apart be sure to clean the threads of a shreds of teflon tape.
Rob, you actually have your MI and TI books is great, I want to keep mine but some of the AFSC 40270 Photographic Systems Technician book sections were classified Secret, but today all of the stuff has been declassified and some has appeared in Popular Science.
