[Healeys] Start up after rebuild

[Bob Spidell]

Our engine builder recommended a high-temp epoxy on plugs. Haven't had one come out yet (also used one on the plug on the end of my BJ8's 'log' manifold after it popped out). 

I know--they'll be bears to get out if I ever need to.

Tap in a new plug. You may use some sealant.
