<VV> antiseize on plugs.

[Secular]

  No you're not the only one Paul...I also recall reading that hint, however, I've also read in Bob Helt's book "The Classic Corvair", that when installing spark plugs, use a thin film of anti-seize on the threads and to torque the plugs to 10 ft-lbs... 

  I've done exactly that :)

  Incidentally, and this maybe my rookie trade-off only, I'd rather cope with a bit of improper heat dissipation than ummmm...stripped threads  :) 

  Regards,


  Tony
