George,

Many anti-seize compounds contain lead.  Lead is certain, almost instant,
death for an O2 sensor.  There are a number of copper based anti-seize
compounds that work just fine for this.

<< Thanks for the reply.  Yes, on the oxygen sensor.  I was wondering if you
meant that the antisieze tended to isolate the ground side of the circuit by
insulating the sensor where the threads meet the exhaust pipe.  From your
reply, I guess this isn't a problem.
