Pulled spark plugs, put in new ones?
Hey guys... Im at 25K miles. Pulled spark plugs for fear of having them lock and break later on. I was planning to just reinstall them with anti-seize but should I go ahead and buy new ones or is 25K not too bad....

how do they look? As long as they are fairly clean, I don't see any probelms with putting the old ones back in with the anti-seize compound. The plugs in our cars are rated for 100,000 miles.

First of all, dont leave ANY plug in for 100K. Odds are, problems will happen. Admittedly, 25k is early for a change, as well as 36K. So, its your call. I dont know where you getting them plugs at for $80-100. I got Motorcraft SP462 for $5.19 ea and an 8ozbottle of nickle anti seize for $11. I look at it as cheap insurance.

Yeah, they're rated for 100k but I'll pull mine every 10-15k and check them out just in case. If there's no physical damage (or appearance of ignitionissues) they'll go back in. And replaced at 50k.
