Have questions about glow plugs. should they be antisiezed or not? I have new ones to put in my reman heads and have this desire to antisieze them. correct me if I shouldn't.

I will also antisieze all exhause bolts and turbo mounting bolts unless otherwise warned.

I use (d) antisieze on all the things that you mentioned. Just be sure it only get on the threads - you probably don't want antisieze inside the cylinders.

i thought antiseize insulates things??

i did not antiseez my first injectors and had no trouble getting them out out after 107,000 miles. Torque them down properly and don't over tighten and it shouldn't be a problem

Doesn't using Anti Seize alter the torque values? I seem to remember reading that somewhere but cant find it...

yes but not useing a toqure wrech u be off more than anti sze will afect

I use antiseize on all of those things.

Usually on anything with heat gets some antiseize.

I used the Nickel based antiseize on my truck.

I've use copper antiseize for clamp in farm tractor fuel injectors. They pop right out after years.

The biggest thing is to prevent moisture causing rust on these parts in the threads. Makes service easier later. IMO

On torque, proper torque requires lubrication of the threads to get a proper torqe on a fastener. Wiether you use oil, sealant, thread locker or anti size, they all act as a lubricant. Dry torquing is subject to galling of the treads, which will increase the torque required to tighten a fastener. (Remember bolts are a type of spring, tightening torque stretches the bolt to give clamping force)
