I've been on a Dire Straits and Arlo Guthrie run for the last few months. You can't beat the old stuff.

I'd stick with NGK plugs. They'll last twice as long so they aren't going to cost more in the end.

I wouldn't try and retorque the bolts as that would probably make the leak worse. How much oil are you losing between oil changes? Looks like a timing cover leak. I'd clean the area up and keep an eye on it and the oil level to see how much is getting lost. But in my opinion this is about what...
