yep....All metals have a property called nobility. It is a measure of a metal's resistance to corrosion when in contact with another metal. A greater relative difference in nobility between the two metals in contact indicates a greater corrosion potential. Alum is a 1 while steel is a 4....so a corrosion potential is high between cyclinder and spark plug.....when you use an antisieze...it conditions the two metals and keeps them apart while creating a lubed surface that makes removal and install easy without galling. Always install plug by hand not with wrench untill it bottoms out...I would also use a torque wrench to set final torque per manual specs.
