For some it will give peace of mind. Others will worry about vibrations causing leaks. lol

JFYI the tubes has expiration time, so if you dont use them very often I think is not a good idea to buy several.

I'm concerned about that to so I cut up some scrap rubber hose and put it under both sides of the metal lines to help absorb vibrations.

Can anyone comment regarding my question about the Grey ford silicone being heat resistant enough to be put between the block and exhaust manifolds?
I couldnt find msds sheets on it for temps.

I wouldn't use it for that. I can't say for sure whether it would fail or not, but I would just use the gaskets you can get at the parts stores

That question is similar to my thoughts: Does anti-seize work on exhaust manifold bolts? Doubtful, but I put it on there anyways lol
