I just removed a set of Edelbrock heads that were on for less than a year. There was noticeable corrosion on the head studs where they went through the head. I have a feeling after several years the heads would have been a big problem to remove. On reassembly, I used anti-seize on the exposed stud. There was also some corrosion in the head openings, but I was only using water with water wetter. Now there is antifreeze and an anti-corrosion additive in it.
