My understanding is that anti sieze is thinner becuase it's made for threads. Moly is a bit thicker and made for all other metal to metal contact surfaces.

The reason I say it burned off was becuase I put it on the exposed threads of my exhaust bolts after installing the factory y-pipe. I didn't use any other chemicals, and half way home I smelled burn-off in the cabin of my car.

In the case of the rotor to hub interface, you want it as thin as possible to avoid DTV issues.

Burn-off on exhaust components is typical whenever you've handled them at all. The oils from your hands or from gloves gets on the piping and has to burn off. This is normal, and was probably totally unrelated to the anti-seize.

I should make it clear though, that you DO NOT want to get anti-seize on the working surface of the rotor. it will eventually scuff off, but, it may affect your braking ability for a bit after putting the corner back together.

Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
