Which consequence follows from applying anti-seize and not reducing torque?

  • A.The plug is overtightened and may strip the thread
  • B.The plug works loose, which occurs because the lubricant prevents the thread from gripping during operation
  • C.Nothing
  • D.The plug runs hot, which follows from the lubricant insulating the seat and therefore reducing the heat conducted away

Answer: A

Lubrication reduces friction so the same torque produces far more clamping load. Heat transfer through a contaminated seat genuinely is impaired, which makes the last option a real secondary concern of the same error. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist.
