Stock head bolts, lube or no?

[Bluefire16]

Ive searched, and thru other forums came up with this answer. When using stock head bolts into a aluminum block, DO NOT LUBE. They say it will cause galling.

Then there is the other option of lubing it with just oil.

What do you say? Lube or no?

Our engine uses an iron block, so your information is useless. Every engine I have ever assembled with an iron block, I have lightly coated the threads of the headbolts with motor oil.

^^ ok, see i no that our heads are aluminum, but wasnt sure. Good to no, i can at least put them in place for today and get the thing read for tightening tomorrow.
