    Also, put engine oil between the washer and the head bolt and a light oil
    such as LPS-1 on the threads. It's also a good idea to chase the threads in
    the block with a tap (being extremely careful of course to use the correct
    size tap). Afterwards, blow out the head bolt holes with carb cleaner and
    compressed air (keeping a rag over the top of the holes to catch the crud).

    I don't know if this is true of the newer Honda's, but when i was doing the
    final torqe on my '85 Accord, the head bolts are designed to stretch.
    For someone that does not do this type of thing on a regular basis, it tends
    to make your heart race when you feel it happening.

    Best to use anti-sieze compound (e.g. Permatex) on threads and washers.
