wideopen231Always use anti seeze . Everything from gas 454 to injected nitro and a few teams I have helped running top fuel.
If don't mind why looking for other?

RPROGASI put them in dry but have seen many others use a dab of anti seize on the threads. I've never had a plug seize in the threads.

WHOMPWHOMPJust a little motor oil…I was told by a MSD tech ignition boxes didn’t like anti seize

1320racerExcessive anti seize on plugs is known to cause misfire. Besides, that shyt gets on everything.

That's why I use this and not anti-seize.

moparacerNothing on them here. For ever. If you are seizing spark plugs in aluminum heads you are overtightening them.

B KINGI use a small dab of anti-seize, don't have misfires & never seized a plug. Use it/don't use it, it's your choice.

Curly1I did not use anything for years. Now I am starting to use a little Anti-Sieze on them again. Brodix says to So can not hurt.

irf3I used to use antiseize on plugs until NGK said not to. They claim the coating on plug prevents it from galling. They said it does not allow heat transfer properly.
