Just replace the plugs, and go. And Steven, if you torque them to the factory specs, you won't need seize protection. Unless you are like me, I throw the factory specs out the window and do it redneck style, hand tight To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation To know even one life has breathed easier This is to have succeeded.
