For taking the time to answer.

I thought about breaking the plugs and blowing out the muck before unscrewing the plugs out...so I guess I'm on the right track.

I am changing the seals because of high oil consumption. Actually I have no evidence that the head gasket is blown, however, I was thinking of replacing it just for the mechanical practice. There is no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil.

Again...Thanks.
