Hi Dud,

I get your thinking on this but I think it unlikely that Teflon tape will prevent electrical contact between dissimilar metals that are threaded.

Copper will increase the corrosion rate in iron, but when a small mass like a drain plug is in a large iron cylinder block, it has little effect. If it was the other way around and the block was copper, there would be very noticeable corrosion of the iron plug. You may have seen this if you've come across an old copper boiler like people used to use that had an iron drain plug.

By the way, how did that stripped wheel stud resolve itself ?
