one thing these plug tests procedures never seem to mention is the potential for stripping out the threads in the head. Aluminum heads expand and will tighten around the spark plug. removing a plug while the head is hot can damage the aluminum threads. Give the head a few minutes of cooling time to relax the metal before pulling the plug, then make sure you can thread the plug completely back in by hand
