    I think I figured out an area where I can do a nice WOT hit and immediately shut it down and pull off to check the plugs....Here is my question: Is it ok to pull a couple plugs while the engine is that hot or am I risking damaging the threads in the heads?

    Yeah I really don't have anywhere around here to do a good WOT pull and then shut down and let it sit until it cools down to pull a plug...Unless with the iorn heads it is ok to pull the plgu while still hot.

    I am assuming the NGK UR45 V plug is the best option? Hard to find in my area but I fond a store that has them
