Anit-seize On Spark Plug Threads

[djv1951]

I'm going to change the spark plugs on my 2004 Silverado with tha 8100 engine in it. Is it a good idea or bad idea to put anti-seize on the threads before I install them?

Yes, but you do not need allot. Just a little dab will do.

It has saved MANY aluminum heads from the dreaded stripped spark plug issue. I don't think it is optional.

Yes it is a must do thing if you want to replace the spark plugs again!!

Does the 8.1 even have aluminum heads?

Anti seize compound really should be used on any spark plug application. I was just saying that it had saved many aluminum heads. It will make removal of plugs a simple task the next time around.

I don't know if I'd put never-seize on spark plugs, Lock tite would be much better. I'd hate for them to back out.

Everytime I change the plugs in any car, boat, even lawn mower i use anite-seize. Just a dab will do ya. you dont want to use too much.

It's up to everyone if you want to use antiseize but I never do. We just don't have issues with them getting stuck anymore. But dude I hope you are kidding about lock tite. Snug em down and they will not back out, I would strongly suggest not using lock tite and if I went to replace a set and someone had lock tited them down there would be alot added to the labor cost.

I'm more concerned with getting my plug wires off the plugs without destroying them rather than my plugs coming out of the head. Then again their changed every 9k~
