Default anti-seize compound...where to use it?
Quick question. Where should I be using the anti-seize compound? Just the sparkplugs or exhaust, intake, etc. etc.

I use it pretty much anywhere a steel bolt goes into aluminum threads.

O2's require sensor safe and should be applied, its in the GM manual. Spark plugs as well. I have studs for the exhaust, but used ARP Assembly Lube for installation.

This is pretty much it. Whenever a strong metal like steel threads into a softer metal, like aluminum, you need to use a lube to prevent galling.

I didn't use anti-sieze compound on my head bolts (TTY). I hope this isn't going to be a problem. The service manual didn't call for it...atleast it wasn't that apparent.

no, you don't use it on the head bolts, that would actually interfere with the torque readings you used.
