Been using powdered graphite on threads for years. While others
were installing helicoils in their stripped out Beetle heads, the plugs
in mine were coming out easily. The antiseize of the 1050s-60s
didn't work very well. Never had problems with bleeder screws;
probably because the cars lived in Florida.

Makes me nervous NOT to have anti-seize on the bleeders. They break
off very easily.
As Jim said, you put it on the threads, not on the sealing surface.
