Is that the stuff you put on the plugs to keep from sticking? Don't want to use the wrong stuff.:thumbsup:

What plugs? The spark plugs? If you're talking about spark plugs, put a dab of Never-Seez on the threads.

Goodtimes!

If it is the plugs which I am guessing seeing that there are really no other plugs that you would need to do this with on the car, Never Seez is great.:thumbsup:

I have read you should never put Never Seez on spark plug threads because it interferres with the heat transfer. But I personally don't believe that is true. When spark plugs squeak when screwing them in, SOMETHING has to be used to prevent the threads from galling. So knowing Never Seez uses nickel as a lubricant, I have always used Never Seez.

I would think Never Seez actually promotes heat transfer. It's damned good stuff, and I use it on almost all threads. Especially anything to do with the exhaust system.

I take it, that stuff you can get at any auto store?

Yes, any good auto parts store should stock it. In America, we use anti seize compounds made out of finely powdered nickel, whereas Europe preferres a copper based compound (calling it copper grease). The only brand names I have ever seen are NeverSeez and Permatex, but I'm sure there are other brands available.
