Re: Spark plug changing

i would advise doing some web searching for how anti-seize might effect torque readings. My point being you may actually over-tighten with a torque wrench with anything put on the threads.

HP tv or one of those Sunday morning shows did a segment using the bolt in a strain gauge and tightening with a torque wrench using different assembly lubes and other chemicals on the threads. The strain on the bolt was much higher than what the torque wrench was seeing.
