    If anything I usually put a tiny dab of anti-seize on the threads so those steel bolts won't seize up in that aluminum case.

    +1 on using a little anti-sieze and torque to spec.

    +1 again, coming loose is not an issue but damaged threads are.

    Actually a zinc-based anti seize is recommended for aluminum and steel applications. Copper destroys the Aluminum.
