Re: Anti- sieze on NGK TR55 plugs
I always used anti seize with non taper seat plugs. They make a crayon like anti seize that I used to put a couple of swipes on the threads, when installing on aluminum heads.

Re: Anti- sieze on NGK TR55 plugs
Chevy LS so yes alum heads. I did not install the plugs that were in this car, so I don't know if anti seize was used,or if they were over torqued. I had to use a 1/2 breakover to pop them loose.and I dont want to go through that again.

Re: Anti- sieze on NGK TR55 plugs
You must suspect that anti-seize was not used when you posted. I do not have the experience that you do, however I was taught that dissimilar metals should use anti-seize. 1/2 breaker , wow my father always told me not to go crazy, "they are only plugs not head bolts" LOL.

Sparingly, just like the elbow grease used to tighten them.

Re: Anti- sieze on NGK TR55 plugs
I understand the anti seize because of 2 different metals, but I thought that it enhanced poor grounding of plug to head. Maybe I dreamed it.
