<VV> antiseize on plugs.

[Bill Elliott]

And now you know why so many Corvair engines have stripped spark plug 
holes. In alloy heads, you should _always_ use a thin coating of high 
temp anti seize. Your plugs (and heads) will thank you. I also 
consistently chase the threads every time I pull a plug... since 
adopting this I've never stripped a plug hole and have never had a stuck 
plug.

I've never understood the theory on not allowing heat dissipation... 
unless the early antiseize was a different sort of compound.
