Hi David,
Thanks for the reply --
re: the antisieze on spark plugs - I thought the controversary was that the
antiseize made the ground connection difficult to attain and the plugs would
misfire?
Sincerely,

Next - should I use Anti-Seize on the lug bolts before I tighten and
"torque" them? There seems to be some metal to metal corrosion on them.
But I seem to recall some controversary about this --
I do it routinely and I've never had a problem. It does seem to help a
bit. I also use it on spark plugs, which is also a bit controversial.
The main problem, as I understand it, is it reduces the tightening
torque, so the factory torque spec will result in more clamping force
than intended.
