hello, getting ready to do a tune-up this weekend, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Is dielectric grease required? seems I remember putting something on the threads of the plugs, would the grease help in the contacts on the wires/ cap? thanks

    As Aleekat suggests, use anti-seize compound on the plug threads, sparingly. Because it acts as a lubricant, reduce tightening torque. Overtightening a steel fastener (spark plug) into threaded aluminum (head) can strip threads. Shorten up your grip on the spark plug wrench; no gorilla grip needed here.
