Do you any of you guys use antiseize on the spark plugs. Seems to be alot of debate posted all over the net about this topic.

Yes, I use a LITTLE dab of it on the spark plug threads on ALL my engines, and we do the same on our $40,000 sprint car engines too.....makes it so much nicer removing them later on, since your putting a steel threaded plug into an aluminum cylinder head.....but just use a light coating.

And its a lot cheaper than having to insert a heli-coil to repair the threads

I do. Always. But as stated gon't go overboard. A light coating is all that is needed. I want the torque specs on these sparkplugs. My manual doesn't give them. It gives other torque specs but not the spark plugs.
