Please read your installation instructions carefully. I installed aluminum Edelbrock heads and it clearly states NOT to use anti-sieze on aluminum. It will give erroneous readings and you will overtorque the bolts and damage the threads. I also used Allen Head bolts for easier access.

i used (on steel heads) socket caps. i cut a 1/2" piece off of a hex allen wrench, inserted the piece into the caps in tight locations where the headers curve (because without a bolt head there's plenty of room) and then used an open end wrench to torque the cap. but like i said, these were iron heads and i used lots of anti-seize so i wasn't worried about removing them in the future.
