Nothing beats the quality of MotorDyne Spacers. Get one of those. Plugs, stay with NGK factory plugs. The VQ engines do not like too many plugs and seem to run the best on the stock NGKs. Yours did for 5 years.
Stay factory on everything. But personally I wouldn't touch the gaskets when they aren't leaking.

The oil will still get all over the plug when you take them out regardless...

Oil will not jump from th thread side to the coil pack side of the plugs when you pull them out. Gravity prevents that.
Now if it had your problem, then yes oil can get on both sides, but he said it wasn't on the coilpack side. EOD.

And your problem isn't the same as the OPs, it helps if you read better.

Can't go wrong with Motordyne because the support is awesome...
As far as plugs... majority go with stock or iridium plugs.
What are you getting a valve job for

Wow, you this dumb?
No one EVER SAID there isn't tube issues. The OP doesn't have a TUBE issue like you keep trying to point out.
And he isn't getting a valve job, he is getting new valve cover gaskets because it's free even though he doesn't need it. If you read the posts you would have figured that out.

+1 on isothermal gasket... glad I have two because I'll be putting that on whenever I get my new motor.
