I thought these were good for 100K miles? But with the recent news of possibly damaging them... Changing them out may be a good thing after all.

Pull them and see if they look bad. If they look good, then put some anti-seize on them and reuse them. I think you would be better off to get them out now. I have 17000 miles and two of them were already a pain to get out. Luckily none broke. The plugs looked good so I'm reusing them but putting anti-seize on them so I won't have the worry down the road when they need to be replaced.

+1 Sounds like good advice plus, if you don't already know which heads you have, you'll find that out too.[&:]
