Lower intake
What should I use to coat the screws that bolt the lower intake to the head with? The stuff on them when I took it apart appears to be an anti seize compound! 
Thanks John

I've seen thread sealant, RTV, anti seize, and locktite used on the intake to head hardware. FSM says to use serviceable locktite. The problem with using products such as anti seize or thread sealant (w/ teflon) you can't/ don't want to use as high of a torque setting.
For these bolts I just smear some RTV on the threads and torque them down to FSM specs and call it a day. I 'm sure opinons will vary on this topic.
