I usually jam them in to one side of the exhaust and hope for the best lol. Otherwise I use a light solid grease like DC111. Wheel bearing grease works well too

Anti-seize, a dab of copper hi-temp RTV, or as mentioned already a little grease.

Don't overthink this. A couple spots of Super Glue do the job nicely. Grease is messy and smokes when you start the engine, runs out as it melts first. Super Glue is instant, and the ring won't move until you start tightening the flange clamp bolts.

Doing it before installing the engine makes it nice and easy.

Great idea.

Never occurred to me.
