Why Does TrickFlow say No to antiseize?

They said be sure not to use it with their Aluminum Heads. is this true? They said to use motor oil on the intake bolts instead. should I still use antiseize? Thanks

anti seize is not normally required on intake/exhaust bolts. Spark plugs is the most important place to put it on alum heads.

Yeah, they also say not to use anti-sieze on the plugs too...

I can't figure it out.

maybe it's a ploy to get you to sieze the plugs and have to buy a new set of heads from them .I don't know, maybe you should contact them and ask why. Otherwise, I would use it.
