I read on another thread about NOT using steel anti-sieze as it corrodes the aluminum.....i put some of the FLAPS stuff on, seems to work fine...but havent removed the plugs since. should i be afraid to change these plugs?

"steel antisieze" ?

Porsche has consistently recommended no anti-sieze on the plugs; i think they had a bad experience with insulating antisieze back when ignition systems were wimpier and plugs more easily fouled (due to lead...)

i've always used antisieze on plugs and never had a problem. but to address all the various concerns, the antisieze i use on plugs ( i have half a dozen kinds... ) is LubroMoly LM58 Copper-Based Anti-sieze. it's rated for high temperatures and the copper eliminates (in my mind) any issue with insulation.

i put a tiny dab - half-a-pea, maybe, on the plug, and wipe it around with my finger; that takes most of it right back off, except for a very thin film.

i dunno....i'm just scared i'm gonna destroy my 2.0 heads! i guess i shouldnt worry, until i get to replacing my plugs.
