SS Bolt Set Help Needed
Picked up an engine SS bolt kit from ebay. (plenum, intake, runners, etc.)
Do I need to add any lube/anti-seize or anything special as they are SS bolts?
Thought there might be an issue with SS bolts on my alum manifold or bolting the runners but need some advice.

I don't know for sure but I put anti seize on my engine bolts or anything going into aluminim. I know steel and aluminium can react with each other.
I also use it on my header bolts and double check torque after a temp cycle
