Yanmar uses these awful Phillips screws on the water pump covers that get messed up quickly and really dont hold tight either. I have used SS allen ones. Not recommended.... dissimilar metal corrosion will be very likely..... Stainless on Stainless tends to gall so where you need frequent adjustment, e.g. a backstay with a handwheel, there is often a bronze nut running on a stainless male thread. It'll be fine with a little grease on the threads. |
