Message	This is probably old news to some veterans on here, but I had never seen it on tt.NET. We still have tech pages that suggest anti-seize. I'm guessing overall (used correctly and sparingly), it's a non-issue. (?) NGK on anti-seize, circa 2011: "NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without the use of anti-seize. NGK tech support has received a number of tech calls from installers whom have over-tightened spark plugs because of the use of anti-seize. Anti-seize compound can act as a lubricant altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage." - G.
