Yeah but you were refering before that I didn't use it - if your going to b^tch at me that's fine , but admitt your faults and good god get it right - I use the stuff...

 

Never said anything about weather you used it or not. Just didn't like the comments and that is all I was refering to. I have no doubt you do you mechanical things right based on other threads. "good god get it right".... there it is again... condesending as hell. get over yourself.

 

Whats your question lol

 

Nope, never have used anti seize on 2V plugs, never will. I don't have any scientific proof to back it up, other than when I used anti seize on mine, one loosened up and blew out. That's enough proof for me.

 

This is what you said - I didn't ??? Then YOU said that I should get an idiot award??? - you confirmed you were talking to me . You gave me a lecture about something I lecture about and and beleive in , so WTF?? So you talking down to me for no reason, not that I care that much and I gave you every opertunity to correct yourself . I'm on the same side your on about the product

 

Thanks Quintin - Where those Motorcraft plugs? I want to try to get 300k out of this motor and pulling the heads this weekend to clean up the valve seats, pistons and heads for the first time. I ordered the NGK's - not sure if the truck will run right on them , it's rejected Bosch and Autolites for some reason.. The Bosches I understand , I don't know why it rejected these - the autolites , it looks like they got hot..



I won't use anti- sieze on the NGK's I guess..

Thanx

 

Yes, they were.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's lot of people who install them with anti seize, and they come out fine. In my instance, the only variable between the plugs I installed before and after one blew out was the use of anti seize on the first set. They were all installed and tightened in the same method (meaning, I don't use a torque wrench - tighten 'till they bottom out, then go another 1/8 to 1/4 turn).

 

Thats how I use to tighten them lol , until I joined here hahaa. I wish I could remeber how loose they were on my first, second and third time I changed them but can't . I received a new motor and heads in late 2000.. Dealership error , they blew the motor, long story. Anyway the heads they put on it must have been Time certed very hard to tell, They replced the motor, but I had to go to court for the heads - they have 6 threads in the plug holes and they were from the manufaturer.. Thing is, they still loosened up lol..

 

It 's an important part of the procedure because seals the air gap in the expandable aluminum head.

jbrew... this is the statement you said that is wrong. I didn't say you did or did not use anti sieze. That and your insulting other people. That is the only issue I have with your comments. we are all on the same team right? so lets not insult one another.

 

 

I do not use nevrseez. I use WD-40 and tighten them untll they're tight. Been doing that since I was 7yrs old with my go-kart. WD-40 helps you get them tighter without "messing up" the threads in the aluminum. I probably should torque them, but oh well. They haven't come out yet!

 

at least you are man enough to apologize - I see this forum as aplace for buddies to help each other.

 

I agree 100%, we are all here for a common interest, yea JBrew I did take it as a personal attack and felt it was uncalled for, as I am sure a few others would agree, I understand defending your viewpoint, but don't start stating that I am unwilling to learn, am dictating to you, that I am a fool, etc. Share your opinion, and why it is so, nobody ever said that your way, my way or thier way was right or wrong, just a difference of opinion.

I too am an advocate of using antisieze, especially with disimilar metals (I used to be a truck/trailer fabricator and saw a lot of corrosion where aluminum siderails met any steel components such as the floor rails) However, I have always thougth of antiseize as a lubricant and didn't want to overtorque the plug and ruin the head. There are 1000's of users on this forum and I would bet there is a pretty good mix of opinions on using or not using, and the affects it has.

If 13ft lb WITH antiseize is a safe # (which it seems to be) then that too is what I would suggest to those performing this maintenance. However I do not believe straight off that if you fail to use antiseize but still have proper torque that you will have adverse affects. I'm certainly not going to run out and change mine right now just to add some, but when I have time and am doing some other maint, I probably will.

Can't we just all be friends?

Later

FYI I work in the Romeo Engine Plant Dyno and Anti Seize is not installed on the spark plugs at the factory. It is not nessesary to put it on the plugs but it won't hurt them either as long as you don't overdo it.

 

My originals didn't have anything on the threads but i used anti-seize on my new ones.There was also hardly any dielectric grease on the boots.I had all i could do to get the boots off.
