44 years of riding motorcycles
445,000 miles on my 1977 R100RS in 26 years
I always use a dab of anit-seize on my plugs
I Have never stripped a plug
I have never used a torque wrench on plugs
Common sence has to be used when installing plugs!
Paul,
Are plugs a torqued install on Airheads?
It seems the issue with anti-seize or lubricant on the threads is the change in torque numbers associated with the lubricant. As such, another excellent technique is to tighten the plug 1/4 - 1/2 turn after finger tight or 1/8 turn after flattening the crush washer. Also, (to point out the obvious) anti-seize will not fix any threads or repair damage from an over-tightened plug.
