I was going to use the blue on as many as I could get to go in, except for the center(?) locations where the factory used studs that go into the oil passage. On those I was planning on using Loc-tite thread sealer at the end and blue up near the head of the bolt.

Tom,
I used the blue LT - on the header bolts that I got from ACE H/W. I used them inconjunction with a new gasket from Jerry.
For insurance, I smeared a film of red high-temp RTV on both sides of the gasket - overkill on a new one, perhaps? AnywayZ, no leaky after a couple years and counting.
P.
