Anti-seize on NGK Spark Plugs

[RockerPro5]

Hey all, check out this Technical Bulletin I found on the NGK site. (Even though its Canadian, seeing as the plugs are the same it probably applies to the American plugs too)

For spark plugs with special metal plating; do not use anti-seize on the initial
installation. If a spark plug with special metal plating is removed and re-installed,
only then should anti-seize be used prior to “re-installation”.

It is recommended to use spark plugs with the special plating on all aluminum
cylinder head applications to prevent damage to the cylinder head. The shell
plating acts as a “lubricant” which breaks away from the main body of the spark
plug during removal thus preventing the bonding of the aluminum from the
cylinder head to the threads. All NGK Spark Plugs are manufactured with special
shell plating on the metal body.

Refer to the attachment pdf for more detail.

I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms, hopefully there isn't going to be a debate... (thumb)
