DO NOT put lube on the side of the head bolt washer that faces the cylinder head. Lube on the back-side of the washer leads to over-torqing the bolts/studs.
I think you rely far too much on WD40; which is a
crap product for every purpose except removing water (from distributor caps, etc.)
"WD40" also has "specialist products" which are reasonable lubes, penetrants, solvents and such, but they're only labeled "WD40" as a brand-name, they're not the original water-displacing formula.
