I have, I just changed out plugs two weeks ago - still have them all actually. Didn’t do a good job keeping track if which went to what cylinder. They all looked normal at a glance - nothing crazy like that.

A family member is mailing me an air gap soon, so I’ll have the intake off and will instal felpro printoseals. Guess I better figure if I’ve got to replace the head gasket before I do that work - I’de be almost halfway to removing the heads anyway.
