changed plugs last night

I changed my plugs and wires last night and forgot to put anti seize on the plugs, is this a problem?

You only need it if you are running aluminum heads.

I really woundlt worry about it unless you have aluminum heads, granted it might be easier to get them out of the ol iron heads but not needed.

RE: changed plugs last night

thanks, I saw an earlier post that you just put a new msd cap and rotor on, I just put mine on last night with the new plugs and wires but haven't driven it yet b/c of rain.[:@]

RE: changed plugs last night

ive never used anti seize (even on aluminum heads) and have never had a problem taking plugs out. If you do use it becareful not to get any on the porcelin or electrode of the plug as it could lead to misfire.
