What is the conventional wisdom? Should I coat them with anti-seize everywhere except the tip? What kind of anti-seize? Should I remove them every 6 months, ream the holes, re-anti-seize and reinstall? I don't want to go through this again in 50K miles when these plugs go out. I would gladly yank the IM and pull the plugs every 6 mo. if it would solve the problem. Any thoughts anyone?
