[V8] Spark Plugs - (*CAUTION*)

The copper based anti-seize does have a higher temp rating than silver.
I think that is why the BMW shop manual is specific in calling for copper
based.

The copper antisqueeze has a higher temp rating than the silvery stuff, I
believe.  I think it's rated to something like 1800 degrees F.  Do
heads/sparkers get hotter than that?
