alumn. heads and header bolts
 

Does anybody use anti-seize or any combound on the header bolts?

Good Idea to use anti-seize. The two different metals will corrode and bond together.

There was a thread not long ago on antiseize, and it created quite a stir. Personally I like graphite but some of the professionals that should know don't use antiseize on boats.
This should be another good discussion!

You might consider studs in the head instead of bolts. I believe there might be some benefits to using studs.

no doubt studs are far superior to bolts & anti seize is a great thing to use I would use c-5a over the others as it uses silver & nickel as a base

I use the ARP stainless studs and Nickle Anti-seize.

thanks for the info. I know studs are better, but I've never studded the head for headers. I guess I will call around to find header studs. :(

Excellent advice.

Whats everyones opinion on the stage 8 locking bolts? I have them on my Harley and my race truck and love them, guaranteed not to back out.
