[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 424557, member: 15636"] I never have, with aluminum-headed OBs in saltwater use, running a dozen or more motors, some V6s (w/ my bros and I) along with taking care of a fleet of small boats for our boat club, so add in another dozen small HP motors. All plugs are changed every season. We NEVER had a stuck plug, but always torque them back in place. To me many over-torque them. Anti-seize can fudge torque values, plus you don't want it on the electrodes ... so I don't bother with it. We also use dielectric grease on the boots and plug connections. Buy the di-grease at an auto parts store, not a marine store where they will charge you 3X the price for 1/2 as much :shock: ! But the package will have a pretty picture of a boat on it - yippee!
