all so you need to put anti-sieze compound on the threads. realy al threads that are metal to metal should have anti-sieze compound on them, just a little. except the glow plug. and dont use pliers on the glow plug threads.
No, you dont want to put anti-sieze on the head screws. Any screw that goes into metal on a nitro *anything* should get some blue lock-tite, not anti-sieze. You don't run into the same problems with nitro engines as you do with car engines. (ie: steel spark plugs in aluminum heads needs antisieze.) There is no galvanic (I think thats the word I want) reactions in nitro engines.

Although this is what most people recommend, I however do not use locktite on the head screws. I havent needed it. Stripped head screws suck - don't overtighten them.
