Glad that it was an easy fix.
haha I was being a little funny with my Hans comment.

In thinking about it, I had the plugs replaced almost 4 years ago, shortly after I bought the car. It was before I really started to wrench the car myself and the guy who did the plug replacement is an Uber-Mechanic for Porsche cars. He is the type that can rebuild your motor without looking in the book for clearances and torque settings.

I guess a couple of years of tracking and AX loosened them up. I going to check them all this weekend to double check tightness
