Default Anti seize-aluminum heads

First time to work with aluminum heads, and was wondering about using anti-seize lube for all the bolt ons.

I know to use it for the spark plugs but wondering about all the steel bolts for the brackets and also the rocker arm bolts.

Thanks

I can't give you the answer to your question, but this is a pretty interesting thread:

Relevant to your question (I hope).

Standard friction for dry when calculating a torque value is 0.2, for lubricated it is 0.15. Pretty much the same ratio he came up with in that thread. Friction plays the primary role in torque vs. bolt preload, this is why ARP is so specific on their lubricant and torque values.
