Spark plugs + anti-sieze lube
« on: June 10, 2011 - 10:17:00 AM »
Do you guys generally use anti-sieze lube on your spark plugs?  I read somewhere that if the plugs are nickel or have been pre-coated one shouldn't lube them because the anti-sieze acts as a lubricant and would allow for more torque to be applied than should be.   :clueless:  Not sure if there's validity in that statement or not.

I was wondering if I should apply some to my plugs after my exhaust stud debacle...   :eek4:

Aluminum heads definitively use anti-seize. Will not hurt anything if you use it on cast iron heads either, I use anti-seize all spark plugs just for good measure no matter what the head material.   :2cents:
