It is your perogie? Oh, you mean prerogative?

That depends on whether the torque spec is wet or dry.

Then why do you keep mentioning bolt manufacturers? As you point out, we are talking plugs, that's it. Don't bring bolts into it. We know that the torque specs for plugs are for dry plugs.

Gee, lots of instructions on what we can talk about. We should go there, perhaps, since it is a spark plug discussion and applying anti-seize can change the effective heat range.

Thanks for the response. What is a combustion oil?

So I think we agree that electrolytic corrosion between the aluminum and steel components (head and spark plug in this case) are not a factor here. So why are you promoting applying anti-seize to the plugs again?

It's a picture I found on the internet. If you look closely at the pic, you can even see someone in the reflection taking the picture, but it wasn't me. I found it quite hilarious since I'm not even married, nor do I have three children. Nice try on the assumption though. Is that all you've got?

After reading some more of this thread, you really need to swallow that pride and just stop digging this hole, really. The more you say at this point in your defense, the more you're going to get picked apart. This is one of those times where you just walk away.

Well thats somewhat true, but using anti-seize or other lubricants on bolts decreases the friction caused from torquing, resulting in overall over-torquing

Same for me with my F40 and 740iL. If you've got a TT, why are you gracing us with your expert tutelage?

Next time you are working on it, look up the Porsche Technical Bulletin 9102, Group 2, identifier 2870. Sorry, I don't have a copy. I understand that it says never to put anti-seize on spark plugs installed in Porsche vehicles, and is retroactive for all Porsche models. Wonder what they know?
