Tempest introduces spark plug anti-seize

By Janice Wood · May 28, 2012 ·

Tempest has introduced a newly formulated T556 Spark Plug Thread Lube Anti-Seize.

Tempest officials note that various forms of spark plug thread lube anti-seize have been around for years, but many experience the same application problem: They ball up and are very difficult to spread evenly across the threads. “After many months of development, we believe we have found the solution,” they said in a prepared statement.

Tempest T556 newly formulated spark plug thread lube anti-seize comes packaged with a brush that applies the lubricant to the threads with a smooth even flow. Tempest T556 doesn’t drip, and more importantly, won’t inadvertently run down on the firing end of the spark plug, potentially causing an environment conducive to fouling or even pre-ignition, company officials said.

Tempest T556 anti-seize is in stock and available now at authorized Tempest distributors.
