You will need a new plenum gasket, or if you choose to try and re-use the old one you will need some black RTV. Apply a THIN coat of the sealant to both sides ot the gasket. You must pull the plenum to change the rear plugs. Torque them to spec and apply anti-sieze to the threads prior to installation. Do not remove anything until the engine has cooled so you do not gall the threads when removing the plugs.
