Recommend buying Bosch or Beru spark plug wires. Apply a light coat of dielectric grease on the inside of each rubber boot to facilitate future removal. I apply a small dab to a Q-tip, then smear the dielectric grease inside the boot.

changing the valve stem seals should not be a big deal at all on the 2.3... on the six valve closest to the firewall is a pain because there's no access with off the shelf tools.... do a search... it helps to have a compressor and a special tool to guarantee that you are at TDC .... sorry i can't remember all the details, but i have done it twice.... you should see you consumption drop dramatically.
