[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 991964, member: 66039"] We have started using an impact wrench to remove the old plugs out of the 3 valve Ford V8 engines. I know what everyone is going to say but before everyone starts flaming away it actually works. This idea actually came down from a Ford engineer but you obviously won't find it published anywhere...works like a charm. As far as the anti seize goes everyone is aware that it does not go on the plug threads, only a very light film on the portion that protrudes into the head and make sure that there is non on the bottom 3/16" of the plug. While we are on the subject of anti seize, personally I do not put anti seize on plug threads as it can break down the ground contact between the plug and the cylinder head and cause misfires but if you must use anti seize on plug threads do so very sparingly.
