Default ARP Head bolts

Will I be okay using Permatex Ultra Slick Engine Assembly Lube (the red stuff in a small bottle) on the arp bolt threads instead of the ARP Moly assembly lube? I'm just concerned with it eating away at the aluminum. There's no way I'd use oil after seeing it destroy the threads of my rocker arm bolt threads in my old heads.

I also plan on using locktite on the top part of the intake rocker arm bolts. I'm not supposed to put any locktite on the head bolts am I?

Head bolts, no loctite. If you don't use the ARP lube, your final torque value may change. Better talk to ARP.
