Another Spark Plug DIY (for dummies)

I recently learned that Porsche, published a bulletin indicating that it doesn't recommend using anti-seize compound on spark plugs for any of their engines (Porsche Technical Bulletin 9102, Group 2 identifier 2870). The bulletin applies retroactively to all models and the theory is that the anti-seize tends to act as an electrical insulator between the plug and the cylinder head. This could have detrimental effect on the firing of the spark due to the loss of a good, consistent ground connection.

I think recall Jake R telling me that he used milk of magnesia on turbine igniters.....perhaps that compound would avoid the insular condition?

I used a VERY LIGHT coating of anti-seize on my plugs and have had no problems.
I think the problems may arise when people goop it on like marmalade.
