I also read that the drool tube heads needed no washers, but as far as sealing goes, this didn't seem to be the case. The plugs I pulled out before these had washers, and sealed just fine. I couldn't get the washers off them and decided - well lets try it anyway. No oil drips or nothing- I was pretty happy with it, but that was pre-turbo.

I'd think if anything the washer backs it out and makes it stick into the chamber less, no?

I don't think it's a matter of whether they will seal, but the heat transfer is critical from the plug to the head, and with washers AND a drool tube , the heat transfer will be less, making the plug actually run hotter, I would think... not a good situation, particularly, on a boosted engine.

Leaking oil around the base of the plug is another issue; has to be dealt with, too... one way or another.:banghead:
