Copper slip will burn on and make a mess. The optimal paste is rated to hundreds of degrees and is made for the job.

 

[chrisshrops]

Cheers Rob that's the one for me then

Seriously, buy the Optimol paste....it'll also last for years as you only use it sparingly !

Got some on its way matey

Been using copper slip for work and on my bikes for 32 years and always been happy with it. Can't imagine a spindle without it.

 

[Rob Farmer]

It's not going on a spindle it's going on a hot cylinder head

Copperslip will be OK if you crack the exhaust joint open and clean all up, once a year.

I used optimol paste on a side not I cleaned up the Keihan systen with a wirox disk on a grinder came up like new ,im not sure what grade stainless they use bit mine had a few cracks and corosion on it having said that I have no idea how old the system is and I think the bike had a hard life in the past as it was propper filthy and every bearing needed changing.

I am a cheapskate as well, I mix copper slip with graphite and paint the exhaust threads, the copper slip burns off leaving the graphite in the threads, the graphite is from a joiners pencil, works for this tight arse!
