HAHA.. I think never-cease is what Packrat uses on his off-beat remarks, davo on his sports-nut talk, and ryanblacksvt on his car bashing. Noobs have a healthy application of never-cease too... they always ask the same EXPECTED questions.  j/p, man! Never-sieze would be the gel you use to keep the plugs from becoming stuck. Ray

It's actually anti-seize. Protects against seizure, heat-freeze, rust and corrosion.

Yes there is. I made it for THAT EXACT reason! Too many people saying, "I'd do it, but I don't know where the IAC or the TB or EGR is... and all that text is just confusing".
We did the entire rebuild and photographed each part.. I even labeled each piece in every picture (even pieces not involved in the process; just so people can learn what those pieces are)

And if that doesn't help you then prepared for a dealer arse rape. Most of us have learned from reading here on the forums and buying all the manuals. Most mechanics have no education beyond HS other than ASE certification. I figured if these monkeys can repair a car I sure as heck can. I've learned to fix thinks on others cars that mechanics screw up. Got my first repair bill at 18 and said F this I need to learn how to do things for myself. My dad didn't do much work on cars either so I was pretty blind when I started. Just started reading and asking questions. Same as anything else in life.

I paid ONCE for the 30,000 miles check up...It was like $500... 
Since then, I do my work myself, for the most part...
