    Ask your dealer if they will do that for you.
    Cheap Cycle Parts has 90ml of the part number I gave for about $39. That would probably do quite a few plugs.

    As you can see, the lower the line is on the graph, the more capable the compound is to transfer heat.

    Default changing spark plugs on 2014 rt limited Your Message

    This paste is also known as "Heat Sink Compound", it's use in tv's with power transistors and chips for the same purpose as BRP are saying, but given the fact that spark plugs are screwed in and tightened, I can't see where metal to metal contact can be improved with this compound, I think it's BRP being OTT like they are with everything else like loctite. The rattling clanking heap of the 1330 engine can hardly be described as quality so I don't know what all the fuss is about. My 1330 runs well but sounds like 2 skeletons tap dancing in a biscuit tin.

    I can't tell if that's better, or worse; than sounding like a tray full of empty dishes getting tossed down the cellar stairs!

    I just took a closer look & both the Dow Corning tc5022 and the Shinetsu stuff have the same line. And on the chart it looks like they didn't even bother to put the specs on for the worst of the bunch.

    The ability to transfer the heat from one medium to another is the needed ticket.

    Both the graph and the chart have the ones with less resistance to thermal transfer at the bottom.

    Looks like the Dow Corning tc5022 is the stuff to get. Found it on moddiy.com for $10 for 3.5 grams.

    Yes, the spark plugs are screwed in and you're probably correct that application of thermal paste is not going to improve the metal to metal heat transfer rate. However, there are voids between the treads where there is no direct metal to metal contact at all. It is these voids that the thermal paste fills, effectively creating a much larger contact/surface area through which heat transfer can take place. With the sensitivity of the anti-knock sensors and the related actions which will be taken by the computer to prevent pre-ignition (all negative in respect to engine performance, power and fuel mileage). I'm not sure that BRP is being OTT on this one.

    Ask your dealer if they will do that for you.

    BTW the spark plugs are $20 each for a total of $60. My next change will be at 50,000 miles on the current plugs as the ones I changed at 40,000 looked great
    I sell the 3 Spark Plug Replacement Kit for the 1330 motor $36.95 delivered. And it includes Thermal Paste and Dielectric Grease. Don't pay $20 for your spark plugs!

    So what's the rumor I've heard that, it's easier to take the frunk off to get to the plugs??? Mac
