Just remember one plug can foul the whole deal. I had a bad trailing plug in my 89 GTU that gave me all sorts of hell. The big issue was the fact whoever had put it in cross threaded it and we could not get it out. The issue with the rotary being you cannot use a heliocoil(sp?) to re-thread a stripped plug hole. Unfortunately I was broke at the time and did not know rotaries that well and sold it for $750.00. OUCH! This was 1999 and the car was in good shape otherwise. It was a loaded GTU and I loved it!
