If you use a anti-seize compound be sure it is high temp rated. Many aren't. Also make sure it's aluminum caopatible. I have some copper compound and that isn't. compatible. Joe worsley Advance, NC

I'll agree with Joe. For over 30 years (well since 1966 when I got my first Jaguar, continuing from 1971 when I got an alloy head Hillman (we still have it) and now with the Range Rover, I've only ev

I must say I've never had this problem with my Rover-engined Morgan +8 (16 years now). I coat the threads lightly with copper-based anti-seize and torque to 20 pounds ONLY! It's funny though, this pa

This is an old subject, the anti seize. As I wrote a year or so ago, Champion, for one, has an anti seize compound on their plugs & no other compound should be used. Grease, I'm sure would be fine. C

Jim's post makes a lot of sense. The 215s and of course the early Rovers were some of the first mass produced engines with aluminum heads, today there are a "ton" of aluminum head cars. It stands to

Hi Kerry, ALL, (I mean ALL) modern spark plugs arrive already coated with the perfect anti seize compound warrantied by the manufacturer. Any further addition of another anti-seize would be gilding t

Wow. Seems like, with all the other verbiage printed on the box, the plug manufacturers would mention a little thing like that. You'd think the "perfect anti seize" would also be visible as at least

I never experienced loose plugs both in the Rover alu V8 nor in my alu headed Alfa's. In my Alfa days some 20 yeras ago I always used graphite based grease on the plugs and the last 10 years I used c

Hi all, Twice now (several months apart) i've found all my spark plugs to be loose. Is this a known problem with the Rover V8? I don't use a torque wrench to set them, I just tighten them the same as

I've had the same problem a few times. I've assumed it was because I hadn't tightened them. I've never had the problem with my alloy -head Hillman Hunter. Ron Beckett
