Mike:
They should all be oiled. Typically, head bolt torques assume all bolts are oiled, and that oil is applied under the head of the bolt as well. Failing to do this can cause your torques to be off by 25% or more. Also, use good torquing technique--use a swirl pattern starting from the inside (center) and working out, unless you have a manual or similar that tells you different. Run them down finger tight, then 25%, 50%, 75%, then full torque, then go back and check each one again. Time "saved" here by going up too fast can really come back to bite you.
