Just about any boat or outdoor sports place should sell 1" transom plugs, which is another name for what you are looking for. I found it didn't work that well for me as I had trouble getting it tight enough to grip. Instead, I used the 1" mandrel from my drum sander set and that worked perfectly.

It's not grease you want - it is anti-seize paste. You just put a very small amount on the threads of your spark plugs. A good idea whenever you are connecting dissimilar metals. You might hear a lot of hooey about the paste affecting the accuracy of your torque wrench but as far as I'm concerned that's exactly what it is - a load of hooey.
