Anti seize paste is your friend!
Yes anti seize was used on the new plugs.
John07,
What a sight, how long had those plugs been in situ?
Could be from new, there's no record of them being changed in the receipts I've got. That's 8 years and 15K miles.
And the gaps are massive, surprising the engine ran
The gaps are only a bit over what they should be, which is .050in.
What shocked me was the height of the water level stain on the plug caps. The problem is there does not seem to be any way out for the water apart from evaporation. In the engine's natural habitat there are no bonnet vents to fill the plug trough with water.
Cheers
John
