Seems like a dumb question, but what about using anti-seize in this particular situation?
4 High strength 8mm bolts hold the exhaust manifold heat shields and screw right into blind holes on the exhaust manifold. Nearly broke one getting them out, but I hesitate to use anti-seize on the threads because it will probably get really hot and burn, then the stuff will have nowhere to go and maybe crack the manifold. My imagination? Instead of anti-seize I ran a clean up tap into the blind holes and came up with lots of rust - which didn't surprise me. Bolts fit much easier going back in.
