I’m not a mechanic and have not played one on TV. Based on the recommendation of a very good mechanic, I stopped using Teflon tape and now use Gasoila on everything with a pipe thread connection (hot or cold).

I am replacing the engine's exhaust riser or mixing elbow and associated threaded 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" nipples, and want to use the right pipe dope that can handle the heat and make a good seal and hopefully make it easier to take apart for the next person. I've been adised to use Never-Sieze on the bolts holding the flange and want to use Megaloc by Hercules on the pipe threads, but don't see any temperature stats on the can. Any suggestions?
