I feel the same way. FWIW, I went ahead and put some NGK V-power's in there (they didn't have the Densos' in stock) and used never-sieze on the threads. The NGK's are just normal resistor type plugs that will need to be changed at around 30K-40K. I know that the plugs will be easy to change when the time comes, and I will have no worries about getting them out. I will probably be able to change them all in about 30-40 minutes. Easy. That's something I don't mind doing at all.

But man, I gotta tell you, I was sweatin' bullets getting those Densos out. I assume the heads are Aluminium?? I was really scared of stripping one of the ports out. I had visions of multiple, multiple $100 dollar bills floating away... I got lucky because thay all came out OK and the new ones went in like they were supposed to.



Take care,

Jim
