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.
