Aluminum heads and accessory hardware.
i've never had a set of aluminum heads, always iron. well i got some 2v chi heads and will be installing the engine in the next couple of weeks. what do you do with your hardware? just anti-seize the steel hardware? also, what about using stainless because i seen somewhere not to use stainless in aluminum but i hadn't heard of it before.

The only things I anti-seize are spark plugs, and header bolts (and I always safety wire my header bolts).
I've never heard of issues using stainless on aluminum.
