Question Gasket Maker CVT Cover... Anti-Sieze on Bolts...

Took my CVT cover off a brand new engine to remove the kick starter mechanism.

CVT cover gasket disintegrated. Removed kick starter mechanism. Installed press fit muffler mounting bolt. Looked down at these brand new cover bolts and most of them had a small amount of white crust on them. Wire wheeled the bolts. Squeezed some Ultra Black Gasket Maker around the rim and bolt holes of the cover. Put the cover in place gently and dipped my cover bolts in a wee amount of anti seize before installing them in a top bottom side fashion. Finger tight. Looks like good coverage on gasket and no blowouts or gaps.

Started to mount the exhaust and realized the performance exhaust kit did not include the crush gasket. Realized that the kit didn't have the M6 and my old exhaust had a slightly larger size. Didn't find any flange nuts but picked up a couple of stainless nuts and washers and lock washers. Waiting for parts.

Meanwhile I was wondering if people here put a wee bit of grease or anti seize on their spark plug threads and if so what type do you use ?
