Get the right wires. The incorrect ones won't seal and may not reach.

OT:
what do you do if your spark plug wire keeps poping out all the time?
only one of the pops out.

thanks I'll try that.

why do they pop out? is it because of the pressure inside?

try making sure your plug is screwed all the way in with anti-sieze on the end. Mine kept pooping out and finally foiund out that it was totally unscrewed which caused it to pop out the top almost. Wouldnt have been good had i waited any longer....

but yeah i doubt thats your case, just somthing to llook into.
