You have to watch when your reinstalling a used plug. Once it's snug it's not 1/4 turn anymore as the washer has already been crushed. So give it a less of a turn. Depending on the plug washer, an 1/8 turn or less usually works. Also, as said before, use antiseize. That and change your plugs every 25K regardless. After all it is only <$20?

Yeah I never return used plugs anyways, it's just not worth the twelve bucks or whatever.
