Superior 1 oz. Tube of Permatex 81343 White Anti-Seize Lubricant - Unbeatable Friction Protection! Review

I used 81343 to replace 12 plugs in 2005 Chrysler Crossfire aluminum heads. For connoisseurs, these plugs are a well-known access slut. With 123,000 miles and a questionable service history, I was very concerned with the effort required to remove the old plugs and the squeaking when the plugs complained about being removed.

It doesn't have to be perfect as it will spread when tightened. Also note that this may change the torque limits. I won't even try to do the math here. But a quick research shows that you should reduce the torque…

Fast shipping and good packaging.

As I disassembled the vehicle for other requirements such as belts and pulleys and associated hardware, I realized how rewarding it was to take the time to use this anti-seize. When I had to pull out the water housing a few months later to replace a faulty…

I've used it on new spark plug threads which is a moot point. I removed old spark plugs of unknown age on my 2010 F150 5.4 liter 3 valve engine, the old spark plug threads had quite a bit of rust and were difficult to remove. I installed a new plug with no anti-seize and the plug punctured me completely and fitted the existing head threads. So I removed the new plug and added some anti-seize to the threads of all new plugs and the install went smoothly. I was able to pretty much finger tighten…
