    No! No anti seize, it can drip on the piston surface and cylinder walls and cause major hot spots. Anti seize should never be used. No bueno

    The stock motorcraft plugs have anti-seize on them - it appears to be copper based.

    A-S on spark plugs is not used to avoid stripping the heads- it is used to prevent galling - remember your high school physics? Dissimilar metals react at the molecular level and exchange atoms - over time this can cause them to be very hard to remove. A small dab will not cause any problems. Stress: a small bit - I have actually seen so much aluminum anti-seize glopped on to a plug that it (as a conductor) actually shorted the plug! Of course if you use too much you can cause problems, each plug just barely needs any on one side of the threads to prevent galling.

    Many plugs have a thread coating which is supposed to prevent galling - and if you change plugs a lot, no A-S is likely needed. However, the reason the factory puts on A-S is because at extended change intervals being recommended today, it could be years before the plugs get a twist.

    I say it is cheap insurance and i use it

    It's all preference. Me personally, I won't be caught dead with it, that's what they taught us in tech school and that's what I use on all the Porsches I work on. Dis similar metal corrosion usually doesn't happen on today's heads and plugs. If, and I do say IF you use anti-seize.... A little dab will do ya and leave the bottom thread free of it

    I always use it. My preference. I/c bolts, blower bolts, spark plugs and headed bolts
