I've put about 5k miles since. No problems. Just did a valve adjustment too and the spark plugs felt fine. Definitely tighten them down good for sure.

The original plug gasket seems to "stick" ("weld" is a bit too frank) to the cylinder head and leaves scoring on aluminum after removal; this makes difficult for new plug to retain the torque in some cases
