Anti seize cylinder bolt

[khoi36]

I replaced my cylinder gasket today . And toque all the bolt . I forgot
To add anti seize on the bolt thread . Should I remove each bolt one by one and add
anti seize on them and torque them again or should just leave them.
Motor is 2000 Yamaha ox66
Thanks

Well that is up to you ... down the line it is a huge mission to drill out and re-tap a broken off bolt, so it is easier to do it right at this stage then later ....

Thank for the reply . You think I should get a new gasket and do it all over again ?

Probably just as well to leave it as is....but you could remove each bolt, clean threads with a wire brush, apply white Teflon pipe compound or marine grease, re-torque them....if it makes you feel better....If you're running in saltwater then it could be more advisable...

no you don't need a new gasket, just remove and lube and replace the bolts one by one in its torq order ....

Stay away from any anti-seize that has copper in it.
