This, and all of the posts have contained good info, but the bottom
line is that anti-seize compound is not a villian; it is overtorqueing
that is the bad guy. Anyone choosing to use anti-seize on sparkplugs
had better be careful not to overtorque them. If you are unsure that
you can tighten a plug without overtorqeuing it, then skip the
anti-seize...
