I am putting in Bosch Premium wire set ... and Bosch Platinum 2 plugs ... is that ok? and, should I put anything on them to make the easier to get out? The plugs say they give more powerful spark. Should I not put them in? Roy,

...wow, that speaks for itself - thanks! Are you on the same engine (just curious)?
In my many experiences I have found Bosch plugs to be flat junk. Check the wires with an ohm meter to make sure they are good! I have run into many brand new sets with at least one or 2 nearly or totally shot wires.
