Cylinder studs. Should I use copper ease on the threads in the cylinder block?
I inspected a couple of suspect cylinder stud threads by removing the studs. Shining a torch in,they seemed ok but hard to tell, so I cleaned the threads out with a degreasing agent before putting the studs back thinking that it might give them more grip. Now I am having second thoughts. Will that result in them seizing in place? Had a little search around on the internet and couldnt find anything. Any thoughts?
Cheers

If they're upper studs, they'll have oil pumped through the threads the first time you fire it up.
Lower studs are dry, but probably not to worry.
