Do You use Anti seize on Your spark plugs???

Anti seize is recommended for Spark Plugs threads that are used in Alloy Heads... Air Cooled Volkswagens have alloy Heads.... otherwise the steel spark plug can get jammed in the soft alloy head.... as they expand differently... causing major problems.... I just did My Lancers spark plugs..... with Never seize as the old plugs were a bit tight to get out.... I have always used a spark plug socket with a rubber insert the rubber insert captures the spark plug so it cannot drop down under the tinware.... Lee

Do You have the rubber boots that normally fit over the VW spark plug resisitors,
to stop cooling air from leaking ??
