What's the difference between antisneeze and antisleaze . . .  Asking for a friend . . .  :evil:  :violent1:





Just the color. If it looks the same, it is the same,  we learn that in helicopter aviation .

If it looks good, it is good as well. Don’t overthink these things is what I say…
Edit. I was a migrant helicopter worker awhile back. A German MBB BO 105 mostly, EMS so there was some humor. The first thing on the “Ball of Flames” checklist is for the pilot in command to calmly state: “ oh shit, oh dear” which alerts everyone of the imminent doom associated with helicopter aviation . Once when I was wiping down the engine cowling on Old Sparky, a flight nurse made a derogatory observation. I don’t remember what she said but I said: “ I gotta get my prints off it, case it goes down somewhere “.  She was impressed . But I digress..

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific plugs. If they are plated and the manufacturer says not to use anti-seize, then don't use anti-seize. If they say to use anti-seize, use it and follow any recommended adjustment to the torque spec (often 20% less).
