Dont ever ask your engineer for advice on cars again.

Yeah, what would a train driver know about auto engines, anyway?

i'd have to agree:
"Plugs were not torqued correctly resulting in poor heat conduction to the head. Plug overheated and also overheated the coil pack."
def. do a leakdown and compression test... if the numbers look good, and runs good, then you were fortunate.
