That's what I was saying....*^^ lol I certainly didnt say to slather them from top to bottom.. No need to have lube on threads running thru the head ... Silicone bottom threads, install, lube washer, install,lube nut, install.. We are talking about studs right? If not for bolts.. Then same as above ,lube washer and under bolt head ..

I've been preaching here that head bolts exposed to coolant passages need to have a good sealant generously applied to the threads. Any of the "sealants" on the market with Teflon and/or moly lube in them are LUBRICANTS and can wash away over time with exposure to hot coolant and heat cycles.
Permatex Indian Head or High Tack are sealants that will stay put.
