I need to know when to use thread lock or anti seaze or to put the bolt in oil or whatever i might have to do . Is there a rule of thumb to use or is it application specific.

Oil or ARP Moly (I prefer the ARP moly) on:
TOP Head Bolts or Studs, all washers and nuts

Teflon Thread Sealer on:
LOWER Head Bolts or Studs
Water pump bolts that enter the cooling passages.

Anti-seize on:
Header bolts
Intake bolts (I like to put a little on to prevent corrosion, never had an issue)

TORQUE EVERYTHING
