[Vwdiesel] Interesting GP Note

[James Hansen]

I do understand that if you don't use anti-seize the glow plugs can get next
to impossible to remove.
They probably don't want the antiseize to get smeared on the shiny by greasy
mechanic fingers and detract from the looks of the new plugs when
installed... in theory nickel doesn't share electrons with aluminum.  In
practice, it sticks like shit to a blanket without the stuff.  I have
nickel, copper, and aluminum antiseize, all great, all works at the heat
range it was intended to operate at.
Justin, what's this about Milk of Magnesia- are you using it as antiseize in
that application? Maybe because of no grease binder to hold the particulate
metal together as in antiseize?  Never heard of that one...

An interesting note on the Beru glowplug diagnostic page (Thanks, SW)
is that the glow plugs have nickel plating on the threads, and no
oil or grease should be used.

I would assume that Beru would then also recommend against Never-Sneeze
type products.

Does anyone understand the mechanics and chemistry of nickel plating in
an Al cylinder head?
