Never heard of the thing about cracking them loose then revving the engine. Makes sense though.

Yeah… no.

Here’s an interesting tip. Don’t take tips about working on your car from a guy on TV or the radio, this includes those nummie nums on car talk.

Also don’t use anti seize on the threads of a spark plug. Anti seize will lower the amount of heat the threads can transfer to the cylinder head effectively lowering the plugs heat range.
