Anti seize spark plugs

Yes. Why? Because **** fighting a seized plug. Don’t need much. Just a thin layer. I’ve used the copper and silver. Don’t get any on the electrode. Really important on aluminum heads to use it.
Yes, especially on aluminum heads.
Never have, but don't live in corrosive environment, neither do you. Start plugs by hand, thread in by hand, and tighten properly. No need to put 30 foot pounds on a spark plug 10 is plenty, and you can do 10ft lb with a 1/4" drive easy. If you have clean threads and don't curl them the plugs will come out easy enough.
Anti-seize on spark plug threads?
Do y'all use anti-seize on your spark plug threads? Seems to be mixed opinions about it. Everyone says to use di-electric on the wire boot. Doing mine for the first time in the next couple days, want to make sure I don't screw it up. Also looked like torque is 20 ft/lbs. That sound right?

Having previously worked in an machine shop and having to dig whats left of a spark plug out of various engine I started using anti seize to prevent any issues in my own vehicles.
I have dug plenty of 3 piece ford plugs out of the trident motors. anti size would never help in that situation. Other than that I have never had plug that as installed properly fail to come out. Ham Handed Cross Threaded Gorilla installed plugs well thats another story ....
I have had issues with European aluminum engines before so yes on those but never had a problem with my cast iron engines.
