triple vette (joking)
I sufered last year a little "battle" with my personal CORVETTE-Tech at the GM-Dealership:
I was to exchange my (so far pretty strange) NGK's PTR5C-13 S-P for "BERU SILVERSTONE" (I gapped them to 0.035), so I asked him the same question as you did here.
Answer: DO NOT USE ANY ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUND AT ALL WITH SPARK PLUGS!!!! Now I was really confused. After more than 30 years of some tech-working with my cars (mainly British's TRIUMPH TR4A-IRS, JAGUAR, US/TransAm), I always was to use this stuff, and I already had fresh anti-seize compound by hand =>
DINOL/DINITROL 355. "Metal/Copper-based assembly lubricant. Heat resistant up to 1'200°C. High loading capability". What the hell now...this his answer:
Use just a light touch of => allmighty WD-40. Yes Sir, done, all fine.
