the problem is using the wrong type of anti-seize when joining two dissimilar metals. most shade tree mechanics grab the ubiquitous low grade generic gray stuff...

i was merely suggesting that not using anti-seize is the safest way to go. to further complicate things, some OE plugs that are meant for aluminum heads are already precoated with an antiseize agent rendering the additional application superfluous.

i was merely stating my own personal opinion (based on 10 years of being an auto mechanic,) regarding the use of anti-seize compound. even amongst the auto mechanic world, the topic of anti-seize and spark plugs is a hotly contested debate.
