Spark plugs
It's almost time for the beast's first spark plug and oil change. What plugs are you guys running, and is a little dab of anti-seize on the threads worth the bother?

Re: Spark plugs
Always use antiseize.... always.
Try the NGK Iridium plugs. |

Re: Spark plugs
Antiseize prevents galling and keeps the plug from seizing in the hole.

Re: Spark plugs
If you don't use it you stand a chance of someday pulling your plugs out and the threads from the head will be there too. Any auto parts store has it, just ask for anti-seize.

Re: Spark plugs
I believe if you talk about a specific plug, they are different for the '90-92 motors and the '93-95's. I'm pretty sure NGK has different plug types listed for each, though you can get them in the same heatrange and iridium for both, just a different number. I can't recall what the difference was, though, I wanna say one has a washer and one doesn't? Or one has a tapered seat and one doesn't? I can't recall...
On the antisieze, I've never done that to any car. Guess I better get some and pull the plugs out and apply it.

Re: Spark plugs
NGK Irridium here too. They work great but, I'm running the TR7IX per Marc Haibeck. I assume that the only difference is the heat range.
