Quoting MellowVR4:
I heard putting regular anti seize on threads that are going to see a lot of heat like these bolts, the anti seize will turn hard and will lock the bolts in their. copper anti seize needs to be used with these bolts.



Actually, the best anti seize for this application is the NON METALLIC type. Loctite 51605 is cheap if you look around. Link below is just for reference...

Well I melted straight through an aluminum head, so I might have the upper hand. Haha.

Some of those offerings look pretty good. I've had good luck with the Permatex Copper Anti-Seize. Like Frank's Red Hot, I put that sh*t on everything.
