Awesome writeup, should be in the AW tech articles, especially because of the detailed pics.

Most people don't even know you are supposed to use anti-sieze at all.

Been reading up. Definitely a good idea to use copper-based anti-seize on the aluminum heads. Thnx

Nice! You 4-banger guys are so lucky...replacing the plugs on a V6 is kind of a PITA.
