Resbond on exhaust studs in the head bad idea?
 
Would using Resbond on my exhaust studs going into the head be a bad idea? Installing some stainless studs (MiataRoadster) and was trying to decide between using the supplied antiseize or the Resbond I have for the turbo studs. Wasn't sure if I ended up breaking one at some point it would make it too difficult to remove from the head or some other issue like that since it's going into aluminum. Thought I'd read of people using it but can't seem to find any threads specifically mentioning it now.

My initial thought would be to just use a copper or nickel anti-seize. You shouldn't have an issue with exhaust studs backing out if installed correctly, so no real need to use resbond.

That's actually the way I'm leaning as I've never tried to remove anything that's been installed with Resbond and I'd hate to break a stud and not be able to remove what's left.
