[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1237191, member: 277"] This is actually one place that dielectric grease is intended to be used, just a little in the cap (or lightly on the porcelain part of the plug). Do not get dielectric grease on any electrical connections. A good spritz of silicon spray would do a good job too. How ever tempting the sound of 'anti-seize compound' is, it may not be a good choice because it often contains a small percentage of metals which could cause the spark plug to misfire to the cylinder head. Just as a side note, the plugs would have to be removed to do a valve adjustment on or about 27k miles. If you suspect the plug caps have never been removed you may want to worry a bit about the valve check. It isn't uncommon for no adjustment during the first check, but then again, some do indeed need adjusting. [/QUOTE]
