Head Bolts-anti-seize or oil?

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Dave thanks for the reply.  I have the threads in the block clean.  I
had been trying to find a good thread chaser and all I could find was
the full set for big bucks.  I used a Cheap A__ suggestion from a
friend.  He suggested taking an old head bolt and cutting a large grove
out of the threads and then clean up the bolt threads with a die.  You
now have a tool to chase the threads in the block and a place to collect
the trash in the grove. Rick.

ARP sells a molybdenum based grease...  CV lube would be the closest
thing
you prolly already have...

I think the lube is not the biggest issue, but how clean the threads
are.
Make sure there is no grit, carbon, old oil, est in there...  Use air,
big-assed Q-tips, whatevet you can find...

What do people do to prepare the head bolts?

Bentley states that anti-size should be used on the threads and the
washer.

I have heard other people use a very, very light coating of motor oil.

Thanks, Rick.
