Significant Technical Input

My fav for several years now: http://www.permatex.com/products/pro...&item_no=20355

I normally get it in the 8oz. brush top bottle. I probably have more call for it than the average Jane or Joe, though.

Cold engine plug replacement reccomendations are to protect you from removing the threads from the hole along with the spark plug. Yes, it happens, and no, it isn't an easy repair on the SVX!

It does not function to CONDUCT electricity but rather to prevent formation of corrosion that would impede the normal flow from the coil to the plug.

What kind of REGULAR silicone grease are you using, BEAV? The $tuff I've been buying come$ in a very $mall tube. Seems to last a long time, though. Kinda' like JB Weld...

There must be various grades of silicone lube as I also see high temp products (for disk brake calipers) besides.

Always neat to learn something new!
