Negatives associated w/ anti-seize on sparkplugs?

[JSparks]

In July's ON magazine in an article about getting airheads ready for the riding season the author stated that he did not recommend anti-seize on spark plugs. I have been pulling a little on my bikes plugs and in my car also because it has an aluminum head. Any evidence of problems related to anti-seize that we should be aware of?

I have done it for many years without any negative effects. Prior to using antiseize I did manage to twist off a stubborn, rusted plug in a flat head ford. Not fun.

However, after reading the article and reading instructions from NGK concerning plug installation, I just installed some new NGK iridium plugs in my LT without any antiseize. NGK says that their plugs have a plating on the threads that resists seizing. We'll see. I hope I have done the right thing. Here is the NGK technical bulletin:

Thanks, Makes sense, Beemer Boneyard sent me NGKs with their 24K package. My bad on the issue, it was actually June on page 29. It says"I do not use it (anti-seize) on splines or spark plugs!"

Jeff, I really think my LT runs smoother since I installed the NGK Iridium plugs. Up until now I have always used the Bosch twin gap plugs that they sell at BMW parts counters. Also, according to NGK, I should be able to extend the replacement intervals by threefold or more; We'll see.

extended plug change interval warning!

Do note the statement NGK makes says they "resist" seizing....
Leaving them in longer raises the possibility of seizing. I'd suggest you take them out for a look see once in a while to further lower the seizing opportunities. IMHO.
It never hurts to correctly gap plugs onece in a while, unless they are the platinum non changable type, which those irridium ones may be....?, I dunno.
Also be aware that washing your engine off increases the likelyhood of spark plug seizing as the water increases corossion.
