Should you put anti seize on the threads of spark plugs? Should you remove spark plugs from a hot or cold engine? Should you torque spark plugs? Should you gap spark plugs? I cover these questions and more in this video.

I realize that not everyone will agree with my statements in this video, and I’m just fine with that. I felt it was important that I put this information out there for those that were interested. I hope you find this information useful.
