B/C hayes doesent recoment changing plugs every 5k miles or so. Where as most forum members do change them that often. They won't seize up in 5k miles, but if you wait longer not only will they seize...but you will experience engine performance reprecussions as well.

If the material around the spark plugs is aluminum (which I think it is) then take them back out and apply the anti-seize ASAP. Its really only optional if it is iron.
This may not apply to rotaries as much (i dunno - i'm more of a Toyota guy), but on a conventional piston engine, this is the rule.

I've never used anti-sieze on my plugs, but like was said above, I change my plugs every 5-6k miles. You "should" use it, just because it can save the headache of snapping off a plug (ask me how I know 
) but you should be ok if you change plugs often, as you should.

Always use anti-seize, it's your best friend. If you don't have some, get some. Every freaking bolt on my car brakes. The only way to stop it is with anti-sieze. Antisieize isn't a burden, it's a joy.
