I know I'm supposed to put anti-seize compound to the spark plugs head, but what the heck is that?
I asked my dad and he told me that it was grease, is that right?
Thanks.

yeah, just throw some motor oil on the threads and fire it up...
then get ready to watch as your plugs shoot out the side of the engine. =)

i have actually heard of this happening, so im only posting it as a warning. use the right stuff.

Yeah, it's a kind of grease. Go to a parts store and ask for it, they'll have small tubes of it.

has some in the garage.

I don't know the technicals but the stuff I use comes in a small tube and is silver in color. I would imagine it's a grease with heat resistance additives.

DCmina

Oh ok thanks. I better use the right stuff then.

It can also be bronze in color. You should use this stuff anytime you are tighting bolts or nuts in areas that heat up and cool down constantly. Such as spark plugs and exhaust components.

yeah...silver gold bronze whatever...it's called "never seize" you can get it in a jar the size of a pop can...use it on lug nuts...spark plugs, basically anything that has threads

amemiya

never use in the motor or on bearings,,,, and DON"T get it on the electrod part of the plug,, it has metal content in the grease and will cunduct. just a little warning

DO NOT use too much, use a very small amount.
