    The obsession with anti seize and torque specs on this forum truly baffles my mind.

    Don't worry, on the GM forums they are obsessed with TTY bolts.

    THANK YOU!!! People think WAY to deep into some stuff. I get using a torque wrench if someone is completely not mechanically inclined. But the anti-seize ain’t needed! Even on NGK and DENSOs site they advertise an “anti-seize” coating already on the plug.

    I’m a GM parts salesman and I’ve sold more damn bolts over the last few years than I can count. It seems every bolt that comes off one of these newer GM vehicles needs replacing.

    I always just re-used them. Never been one issue with doing so, not one. GM and their nonsense moneymaking schemes man. :rolleyes:

    But Ford, being an intellectual, used TTY spark plugs in its 5.4L V8 and 6.8L V10s. :laugh:

    3 years later, now with 180k on the clock:

    Tacoma-Plugs-180k_4ebf2c75aebf4d94baa15486b168f4b10b665201.jpg

    They look about the same as they did at 150k...not too terribly surprising considering it still runs just as well.

    The plugs came out pretty easily, but I'm guessing there was still some anti-seize left on the threads in the cylinder heads despite my best efforts to clean them up. Either way, the new ones (same NGKs I've been using) went in without anti-seize this time as well.

    You do them by hand?
    Or use a torque wrench?

    Those plugs look great by the way:thumbsup:

    Torque wrench.

    And thanks! I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they looked, minus the standard bit of buildup on #6 (but at least it was about the same as before).
