I agree. I also use a SMALL amount of anti-seize on the beginning threads
of Corvair spark plugs. I use "Never-Seez" brand which has a high amount of
metallic particles in it. This should promote heat transfer from the threads
of the plug to the head while still allowing the plugs to be removed without
taking the aluminum threads in the head with them!

No you're not the only one Paul...I also recall reading that hint, however,
I've also read in Bob Helt's book "The Classic Corvair", that when installing
spark plugs, use a thin film of anti-seize on the threads and to torque the
plugs to 10 ft-lbs...
I've done exactly that :)
Incidentally, and this maybe my rookie trade-off only, I'd rather cope with a
bit of improper heat dissipation than ummmm...stripped threads :)
