According to Fel-Pro; two things should be done when installing head bolts:
- Lightly coat the bolt threads (non-water jacket) and underside of bolt heads with motor oil.
- Use Fel-Pro Gray Bolt Prep for bolts entering water jackets
You may want to do this the next time you remove the head, unless you have reassembled the head on a clean block using clean bolts. You then run a risk of the bolt becomming rusted in place.
