I did mine a year and a half after I had them done previously and they had no issues. This was with 55K added to the clock. There was about 65K when I got it and it siezed. I made the mistake of trying to drill it out instead of a head job. In any case, I had them disassemble the thing and I saw there was not that much carbon in the prechambers that could have siezed the plug. Once we drilled out the threads, the plug came out easy. Unfortunately for me, it was drilled at a wrong angle and I needed a machine shop to fix it.
