Having struggled through Chem 1A in college, I'm no chemist, but I think rockfla is correct: electrolysis happens. Rather than trying to delay its effects with various coatings such as anti-seize, which won't change the basic chemistry involved, the better approach seems to me to be to use sacrificial zinc, as is standard in the marine and aeronautical industries.
I have NOS Canadian heads on my new engine. I ordered a zinc probe that goes in one of the temp probe holes on one of the heads. It's been in place about two months so far and I haven't checked it to see if it's working. My plan is to check it after 6 months to see if it's working. The following picture shows it on the right side of the radiator outlet.
I'll report my findings in a few months.
