NGK Plugs & Super Glue???

....after doing several searches on the site I decided to go with the NGK 55
plugs. From what I read the only downside that concerned me in regards
to these plugs was the fact that the little medal screw on tip sometimes
comes undone. Why can't I just put a dab a super glue at the base where the
tip meets the plug??? Thanks guys/gals, Bill......

ps, remember there are NO dumb questions.....

Re: NGK Plugs & Super Glue???

Haven't known super glue to be conductive and won't stick metal to metal or metal to ceramic. Probably a waste of time at best.

I never investigated whether Loc-tite was conductive. May be a good question. Funny though, the blue loc-tite main component is super glue (cyanoacrylate) Well actually it is filling the threads and not actually "gluing" the two pieces together. It also contains a chemical to help it dry in air.

Another thing to think about, if the plug wire connector has a sufficient clamp on the plug, how could the end unscrew? Maybe these same people that had that problem also had a loose contact that would not "clamp" onto the end of the plug tight.

I use and recc. the OEM AC-Delco plugs. Never had the problem you speak of. Don't see the advantage of any other plugs. Maybe you could enlighten us.
