AFAIK, it will burn up, as it is plastic...

...That stuff is a plastic type agent, so I bet it would burn up at the high exhaust manifold temps, IMHO. There was a post on the performace BB about a company that makes a triangle shaped device that fits over the nut hex shap and locks the nut against rotation.
I think there is another way. Cut a triangle out of glavanized sheet steel, drill a hole, place under the bolt. Bend a tang up to crush against the bolt and prevent rotation. The triangle shape should stop rotation as the shape will get stuck against the manifold.
The Garrett turbos use a similar method to prevent bolts from loosening. A long plate with 2 holes in it is placed betwenn adjacent bolts on the exhaust side. The ends of the plate are bent up to lock the bolts against rotation. Anyone who rebuilds those units knows about these.
Best,
C
