spicholy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am replacing my spark plugs with NGK Iridiums. Should I apply anti-seize to the threads or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 ALWAYS! It's cheap insurance against frozen plugs later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicholy Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Thanks. That is what I was thinking. I just wanted to see if there was a reason to not apply it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredx Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 +1 Except I would add: Do not overdo it. We make spark plugs and the #1 warranty return is plugs where the installer used waaaaay too much anti-seize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicholy Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thanks guys. I just put a thin rubbing on the threads. I replaced the Fuel Pressure Regulator with a Turbo City unit at the same time. I had no idea how bad the bike was running. It feels much different now. I will give it a few tanks of gas to see if mileage increases.

Skull Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I was going to say something like "I recommend using JB Weld", but I realized that would be irresponsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It"s also a great idea to put Anti-Sieze on your cars lug nuts. Ha Ha Ha I wrote lug nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicholy Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 It"s also a great idea to put Anti-Sieze on your cars lug nuts. Ha Ha Ha I wrote lug nuts. Yep, I just use a little axle grease. It gives a more accurate torque reading too. I was going to say something like "I recommend using JB Weld", but I realized that would be irresponsible. You're not going soft on us now are you?

EVLXX Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I was going to say something like "I recommend using JB Weld", but I realized that would be irresponsible. :icon_lmao: I'm sure any anti-seize would help in this case but, a good ultra High temp anti-seize would be better. Something like this.... http://www.neverseezproducts.com/hightemp.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
