Whoa...that's gonna be a BIG NEGATORY on any creative condiments on OEM head bolts. Anti-seize is great stuff when used in the right application, and this most certainly ain't it. You don't want anything that will change the friction when torquing head bolts. Note the torque differences using ARP head studs with their lube vs. oil.

I was pulling my front hubs yesterday, though, and the tiny bit of anti-seize I opted to put on each of the infamous cone washers resulted in the easiest removal ever.
