congratulations on your success, and as mentioned in a prior post a reamer will help get rid of the built up carbon. As for the anti-seize, the shop manual does not call for any, but from what I have read, if you want to use some, it is recommended to use a nickel based one. The buru web site also sells a special formulation for use with their plugs. Good luck........
