Spark Plug time.......advice?.....
Going to do the valve cover seals (weeping)....and while I'm at it figured I'd give her new plugs. What are you guys using? I see Needswings has several NGK choices available. Stock right now but going w/ Eurocharged SC pulley/tune shortly.
Should I go stock temp or colder? Might as well do the Magnecor wires too. Thanks

I would recommend NW like usual and if you ask Rob, I am sure he would be able to point you in the right direction in terms of spark plugs.
FWIW though, I heard mixed reviews on Magnecore wires. I would just do NGK plugs with OEM wires, people never have issues with OEM wires, while the same cannot be said for Magnecore.

Make sure you use a gapping tool that bends the bottom portion without touching the iridium tip as these can be easily damaged. Don't use a slide gap tool.

I am no expert but this is what I do. Use one of these crappy things, http://www.ebay.com/itm/KDT-166-KD-T...2#ht_500wt_922
You can use a feeler gauge as well if you want to be more accurate. You can touch the tips gently to check the gap but you certainly don't want any amount of force on them.
