I've got Champions on the way to replace my originals (33K miles). I took the originals out a year ago before I knew there were issues with the current 2 piece design. When I reinstalled them I put anti-seize on the threads like I always have in the past cars/trucks I've owned. Do you think the Carb Cleaner will wick past the anti-seize on the threads and make it's way down to the spark plug post where the carbon build-up is?

It's a damn shame to have this much concern over an easy job like replacing the frigging spark plugs...Thanks FoMoCo[sm=shootshoot.gif]

 

Dude...you took them out a year ago? You've got nothing to worry about. You don't even need to use carb cleaner.

 

I'd use the carb cleaner just to be safe, but I agree - only one year you should be fine.
