Getting ready to change the valve cover gaskets, I assume steel bolts, and aluminum heads. I didn’t see anything about using anti-seize compound, any recommendations?
thanks
 
manual says " Components requiring the use of thread locking compound, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants are identified in the service procedure. do not use coating unless specified. these coating can affect the final torque which may affect the operation of the component." dry torque is 89 inch pounds . note apply a small amount of sealant12378521cor equivalent at the split line of the cylinder head and the camshaft position actuator housings (2 spots)
 
Mickeytee, thanks for taking the time to set me straight, I would not have thought about the sealant. I have the pdf manuals, but don’t find the detail that I’m looking for. Thanks again
