Discover the best anti-seize compounds for spark plugs and how to apply them for optimal performance.
80 views
Use a high-quality anti-seize compound, specifically designed for spark plugs, to prevent them from seizing and ensure easy future removal. Copper-based anti-seize compounds are popular for their conductive properties and reliability. Apply a small amount to the threads only, avoiding the tip and electrode, to maintain proper electrical conductivity and performance. Always follow manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid any issues.
