Default AFR heads and anti sieze

Should I use anti sieze on the rocker bolts, the AFR install sheet says to use anti sieze on all threads to insure long thread life. Any other input?

I would use it so that you don't gall your threads with the metal bolt.

no one is reading my question, no LOCKTITE!!!!!!!!! what about ANTI-SIEZE like it says to use in AFR's instructions! just trying to figure out if they meant the rocker bolts as well.........AFR isn't answering their phone either I cannot figure it out!

so I have decided just to go with the blue locktite and torque them down and forget about it

Oh sorry.

Anyway I did use loc-tite on the rockers, nothing on the factory headbolts and anti-sieze on the header bolts.

Anti-seize should use a lower torque value as the service manual value of 22 lb-ft is a "dry" torque value.
