Unless the studs and nuts are really dry I'm concerned about your torque wrench. It is the nuts that are squealing and shouldn't be at at that torque value. 30-35# is plenty.
When using a 'clicker' type wrench always 'exercise' it before using it and start low and work your way up.

they will also squeal if theres a burr or damaged thread on the studs. Might want to visually check and or run a die down the threads just to make sure.
If all you have is brass then yea antisieze on the studs, use the later 31 copper gasket with spray copper gasket sealant, proper orientation of the fat "washers" and slowly torque them evenly and that should do it.
