That's great news!

Around here, alot of more serious issues arise, such as injectors, opti, etc. I think sometimes we need to just go back to the basics to start with.

Did you remember the anti-sieze compound on the new plugs? You don't want to gall those aluminum heads and stuck plugs can be a bitch to get out, especially if it's the dreaded number 8 plug on the passenger side!

So that's a no? I still would've opted for the anti-sieze. The previous owner on mine didn't and trust me, it was a BEAR coaxing that number 8 plug to come out. PB Blaster and a breaker bar!
