Kolb owners,



I recently read the posts concerning anti-seize compound being old 

school and that silicone heatsink compound should be used to better 

transfer heat between the plugs and cylinder head.  I got a good 10 tube 

deal on eBay and will have enough for this life and the next with one 5g 

tube, so I would like to send a tube to the first 9 emails that I get 

with your name and address.  All I want is assurance that you will use 

some on your Kolb.



Get ready.  Get set.  GO!!!

Sorry Andy, you were #13; none left.

     

     All out of heatsink compound, Kolbers.  To those who made the cut     I'll get them out to you in a couple of days.  Re: offers of     postage, etc., it's my pleasure to give back to some on the list     since so many on the list have been so beneficial to me flying and     maintaining my FlagFly.

     

     Best to you all,

I never heard of heat sink compound being used on spark plugs before.  I use it all the time on electronic devices to transfer heat but not spark plugs.  I guess its alright as long as it won't allow the spark plug to Gaul up in the heads.  I think I will stick to never seize until I know for sure.

when i have removed the sparkplugs with the heat sink compound,,,,   in my opinion,,,  it works as an anti seize as well.  i think it is the best of both worlds.  



has any one mixed the two and if so with what results?

Heat sink compound is called for by Rotax series 912 engine

manuals for spark plug threads.



Don't know about other engines.

Hi Rick,



The silicone thermal conducting paste has been used by Rotax for more years than I can remember. It is in the Line Maint. Manual and in service bulletins. Rotax also says not to use anti seize. Anti seize has no other redeeming quality other than what it was originally designed for and that was to keep things from galling or freezing up. It's old school because it was used back when they didn't have the thermal paste and didn't know anything else. Times have changed and there is something better. Use the silicone thermal transfer paste it's better and for the health of your engine.
