Both Loren and Pelican got their information from Porsche literature (been discussed in the past as well), which is based on the dielectric properties of many types of anti seize. We have several thousand plugs running around without issues, all of which have metallic paste style anti seize on them; and in all the years we have been doing this, we have never had one gall or pull the threads out of a cylinder head. All you need to do is check your brand of anti seize for its conductivity properties, if it is conductive, as most are, you are golden.
