Gosh o mighty. Been an aircraft mechanic for a zillion years. Deal almost
exlcusively with piston engines with aluminum cylinder heads. Both Lycoming
and Continental specify antiseize and if you don't use it the plugs howl
their displeasure when you remove them. Definitely a good idea to use a bit
of antiseize on the threads. The torgue thing is way overblown on this.
Really if you can't screw a sparkplug in......Or if you're a person that if
the manual says stand on your head when you do something and then you
actually try to stand on your head then maybe maintenance is best left to
someone else lol. I thought everyone like that worked for the government
:-)
