Patrick,

Great audio clip! FEs sound to automobile engines as Ducatis do to motorcycles.

I agree on the spinners: Absolutely use anti-seize and R&R 'em every now and then.

On sparkplugs...I've used some kind of anti-seize on every sparkplug I've installed for 20+ years and wouldn't be without it. I know some people say it affects the heat transfer from the plug to the head, but I think it's one of those issues where you'll find people equally committed to both sides of the debate. On an iron head, it may not be such a big deal, but I've seen aluminum threads come out of the head stuck to the sparkplug and just don't want to run the risk. I do agree about keeping it off the electrode and a little does go a long way. I brush on a small amount, then run it around the threads with my finger and wipe off the excess.
