Why do stainless steel fasteners have a tendency to gall?
I installed my cat bypass yesterday, and several times, new stainless steel bolts, and type C nuts, galled before I could tighten them down. I also used anti-seize on them. what the heck?

Don’t look at my booger welds. I will work on those later.
