Every time Ford redid that series of heads they made some kind of a small improvement.

My heads are an early set of A3 heads and even use a different spark plug type.

Using anit-seeze on plugs is a real PITA. If you can get along with out it, that's to your advantage.

Anything that seems to get onto the threads including engine oil can act as a "crazy glue" because of the heat.

Irregardless, the heads still prefer to be cold in order to release the plugs easily.
