I've seen the copper stuff used as corrosion prophylaxis on battery terminals; it conducts nicely. I'd bet that the higher temp nickel based stuff conducts well too. IIRC the stuff I am using is Fel-Pro C5A (copper); I think it's now a Henkel (Loctite) product. I think the nickel stuff is an e

Is anti-seize used on the GP threads? The reason I ask is because _*if *_the threaded portion needs to go to ground so the GPs will light properly, it would not be a good idea. The old series plugs don't use a chassis ground, the parallel plugs do. But there are various anti-seize compounds, i

Wetness around the injectors is still likely to be bypass hoses, unless its up around the nut, in which case the line should be disconnected/reconnected. I believe that you need 2-3 meters of hose for the job, but I haven't done it in a while. (I've got a gauge stick around somewhere though!)
