Regardless of dry and lubed torque values, I follow the Ford TSB recommendations which does not recommend applying nickel-anti seize anywhere but on the spark plug barrels... It's worked flawless on three different spark plug changes, so if that is what Ford recommends, then so be it..

 

Yep that's what I sure did, follow the TSB. Regardless of what anyone else told me.

 

Couldn't agree more!

 

I Did Not Realize The Accell Plugs Were Not The Enclosed End Style Plugs! So Yes Gapping Would Be Advisable. Also Read Post as You HAD .030 Vs .032 On Enclosed Style Plugs.

DOH!

Yes indeed on the Accel spark plugs not requiring a special gap tool, as they have a traditional J style open end as opposed to the closed end of OEM Motorcraft or Autolite spark plugs.
