Last time I used silver anti seize.
^Ditto, I give it 1/4 turn, but made sure the washers weren't caught in the threads. Once it's definitely in 'crushing washer' mode, I give it 1/4-1/2 turn(at most) on the Civic. I have used Permatex silver anti-seize that claims to be best with aluminum heads, etc.
Don't use a torque wrench, but that's because the scope of work I have experience with doesn't 'absolutely' require it, so I don't even own one.
If there is a better method, I'm willing to take advice.
