One other thing to consider when installing glow plugs with anti-seize compound on the threads is that lubricant on the threads significantly effects the published torque specification. As I recall you have to decrease the torque spec by 40-50% when using a dry spec with a lubricant on the threads.

When you're threading steel into aluminum threads this can be a bit significant.
