head bolts
I put my heads on my car today and was just thinking before i went to bed.
I used new bolts (aluminum)..i blew out the holes and cleaned them up and oiled the bolts but I did not put any kind of sealer on any bolt. I just hand tightened them and continued with the torque sequence. Will this be a problem? Should I have used some kind of thread locker or or anti seize on the bolts? thanks.

they might not be, i could be crazy talking, but my main question was if i should use any kind of sealant :P Are the ones that go through the water jackets on the top and bottom or just the top? my headers are on now and i would have to take them off to get to some of the bottom ones, so I am hoping that i dont have to. thanks
