[s-cars] Spark Plugs - anti-seize compound

[Philip Mische]

Uh oh, here we go.

Yes anti seize is good for wheel bolts and lots of other fasteners.

But never, never on spark plugs.  Getting more consistent torque and making
it easier to remove a fastener is one thing, transferring heat is a whole
different brand of kitty-cat.

Considering S-car owners can barely keep there plugs in their motors that
this even came up is kinda humorous - were many of us not still tired from
the last time this thread got going....
