Well if the heads are stock they are cast iron. the only aluminum ones are aftermarket.

I've heard of not changing plugs on a hot motor with aluminum heads so you don't strip the threads but our cars have cast heads from the factory.

How then do you perform a compression test on an Al headed engine?

Waited for it to cool down this timedid the oil when it was alittle hot and burned my finger. My own dumb fault i knew the heads were cast just didnt think before i posted. I went with al 606 xp and got a 12$ rebate from oriley to. Borg warner wires and a hour later lets just say it runs way better. Painted the calipers red got some 5000k head lights and fogs. Put some red bulbs in the daytime running lights and on the interior. Love this car man love itp

are the xp's platinum?
If so, you dont want those, in time they will start to cause problems. The waste spark system on our cars eats them away.
But if they are iridiums you are fine.

No no they are the iradium . Iv been using them since they hit the market back in my tauras sho days
