Alum. Heads and Plugs
Hey this is my first set of Alum. heads. Do I need any anti seize on the plug threads?

No antiseize, just a little oil.

Yes, use anti seize. Make sure you get plugs for those heads, not the iron ones.

Yes, anti-seize, just a little so that it doesn't get onto the porcelain area of the plug. And don't R&R the plugs while the engine is hot, only cold.
