no there is only one type of anti-sieze.The likelyness of the steel bolt backing out of aluminum is slim to none.without anti-sieze the threads will get screwed up on the aluminum when the aluminum gets hot. Unlees your gobbing the anti-sieze onto the threads i wouldnt be concerned with it getting into the intake.

ummm.. hes not talking about a bolt. Hes talking about a threaded insert, like a rethread. Id use red.

If you’re trying to make a threaded insert pretty much permanent in an aluminum casting I usually use a little JB weld on the threads.
