Anti-seize or grease on bolts?

Hi guys,

I had a throttle body gasket leak, replaced that and now bolting back the TB to the intake manifold.

I was wondering, should I use anti-seize on the 4 bolts, or some regular grease, or nothing?

What do you guys recommend and use?

Also, for the Throttle body gasket, do you guys apply a bit of gasket sealer as well, or just slap on the new gasket and bolt it together?

Thanks!

Nothing on the gasket, as long as its new they seal fine. A little bit of anti-seize on the bolts won't hurt anything. Don't use grease; grease will liquefy with heat, drip out, and make a mess.

i always do a slight smear of copper eaze on all threads, just to make it easy to unscrew, just don't have it squirting out of the hole when you screw in.
