(Sloto200 @ Jan. 25 2007,04:08) so what plugs are good to use??

I just used OEM's from dealer. Seemed to work good first time around so I just replaced the same ones.

Good idea and when I use it I use a tiny model car paint brush to apply the anti seize to the threads of the plugs. Works very well and no mess on your fingertips.

All right guys.. I am lost... .... What is anti-seizing the spark plugs???

 

[Over_Easy]

No pro here, but it's a product you can buy at most hardware stores and apply to the threading to keep whatever it is from getting stuck and subsequently a RPITA next time you go to remove/replace them.

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

Over Easy is right. The problem is that you're tightening a steel threaded object (the plug) into an aluminum threaded head. Steel is much stronger than aluminum and removing the plug can be a real problem.

I use a graphite assembly lube product on the threads. Never had a problem yet.
