[QUOTE="JimNH, post: 435822, member: 18470"] Yes, I did put anti seize on the new plugs. I used the Bosch double platinum plugs. I have read that you are not supposed to add anti-sieze if the OEM doesn't call for it, as it changes the toque value, but I always do it as it beats the alternative. I did use a torque wrench to reinstall them, and my natural inclination would have been to make them much tighter than that. Also, I think it's hard to get a good torque wrench reading when you have to use a universal joint to reach the socket extension into alignment. Even though they were horrible, they were all tan and not showing evidence of the engine being either too rich or too lean, so that is a bonus. No. 5 showed a little oil on it, but not so much that is is worrying me. I should have done a compression check on all cylinders while I was at it. If it were easier to reach the plugs that would help, but I should definitely do it next time I have a reason to be in there. [/QUOTE]
