Dry. They'll get plenty oily on their own. |

If they are new, dry is fine. Once they are a bit old, I just put a little permatex around the edges and I never have leaks... Lou |

Should these tube o-rings be replaced at every plug change or less often? Are they used on 1979 /6? |

Depending on your maintenance philosophy, the answer is either "about every 2 to 4 spark plug changes, depending on how fastidious you are" or "Every three decades, whether they need replacing or not". They're used on 1960-1974 slant-6 cylinder heads. 1975 and later heads don't use plug tubes, therefore no plug tube seals. |
