I was reading through one of my past "Camaro Performers" magazines, and I noticed an article where they installed some plugs and wires on an LT1. When installing the spark plugs, they used some Nickel Anti-seize Loctite on the threads. They said this helps not to cross-thread the aluminum heads, and provides corrosion resistance. What's everyone's opinion on this?

 

Loctite is used to prevent fasteners from coming lose. Anti-sieze is used to allow parts to come lose easily when the need comes. Basiclay both are opposite. You'de wont to use anti-sieze on the spark plugs.

 

I use antisieze on damn near everthing I put together. But Sparksplugs espically. A little insurance, even if it is messy crap.

Q

 

loctite on plugs?? HAve fun taking them out, prob the threads too

 

 

They used nickel anti-seize, but the MANUFACTURER is Loctite. I guess I'll be using this stuff.

 

yeah I was havin trouble figurin that one out myself.
Anti sieze=no headaches and cuss words.

 

hehe, loctite on spark plugs, funny if you don't use anything they are a pain to take out, anit-seize is needed! now you put loc-tite, man that would suck hehe sorry.

 

If you read the first post correctly, he's talking about an anti-seize with nickel in it manufactured by a company called Loctite. The word Locktite is not just a product.

 

Hey, I thought it was some new product, Anti-seize Loctite. I could use some of this stuff, header bolts would not be a problem anymore.

 

Exactly, thanks.
