anytime you have dis-similiar metals antiseize or other lube is a must.
I am a big believer in this. My dad has been in the hardware busines 40+ years and having two different metals will corrode in every case.

15 ft/lbs max with brand new heads, else 12 ft/lbs normally.
Definitely invest in the anti-seize, you will appreciate it on the next plug change. I use it on everything near heat or when going into aluminum.
