I'm slapping 5845 back together with new Edelbrock Aluminum heads. When installing the steel rocker studs into the aluminum head, do I use . . .

a) anti sieze

b) locktite

c) oil

d) none of the above

Thanks in advance

I would use Red Loctite. Make sure you use a torque wrench to specs.

I would agree, I use Red Loctite on any such bolt like this. I dont believe you will have to worry about any corrosion since you are surrounded by oil instead of damp air.
