Do you have head studs or aftermarket bolts? Or are you removing and replacing the stock torque to yield bolts every time you take the heads off?
lol
I know why to use antiseize on the sparkplugs, just seeing if brian knows.

I really don't have my heads off either, I was just kidding around bro

Good to know.

After seeing/reading about your radix installation. I didn't question you removing your heads.

Morning! I had to reload my Operating System last night on my shittop.

Anyway, I'll finish my weekend project today, you know, installing those plugs

BlownChevy, I'll also read my PCM so I can send it to you in the morning.

It only takes one time having a threaded insert come out with the plug to make a lifelong beleiver in antiseize.

Dis-similiar metals is a ****. Most people have no idea the trouble that can cause, even using SS and steel has issues. One thing my dad taught me a long time ago.

I am also a big anti-seize beleiver

Ever use a Heli-Coil kit?
