I havent ever had a problem with my Bosh Platniums +4's in my honda del sol. I have had them over 3 years now and no trouble.
I do need to reinstall my NGK starkplug on my bike. It did make a little bit of a difference.
BUT I think I bought bad gas and fouled it out or something. Last week the gas I bought was so bad I had to put in some STP jet fuel carb/fuel injector treatment. Before it wouldnt even idle. All it would do was stall and sputter hehe. That stuff did the trick tho.

You could do it now. I'm planning to do it at 600 miles. That seems to be plenty of time for everything to seat and bed in.

NGK DPR8EA-9 and Castrol GTX 20W50. That plug is suppose to go out of production soon, or already has. So, I'll run the Champion version or an NGK DPR8-EIX. Stock is a 9 series plug, mine works better with an 8 heat range.

Going with WD's recommendation. 20w-50 has the best operational range...

I agree with MacAttack, switch to synthetic now. If you have any doubts about using the best oil available too soon, be advised that brand new Corvettes are delivered to the dealer with synthetic oil in the pan.

I use the NGK Iridium because my Savage likes it, and it does last longer for me than the stock version.
Oil...sythetic all the time, usually AMsoil, and I use both the 10-30 or 10-40.
By the way, the Amsoil 20W in the forks makes for a much better ride.

Any torque wrench is better than no torque wrench. If you are working on your own Savage you really should have one. I don't generally recommend cheap tools, but in this case you are better off with a cheap one rather than be without. So next time you hear of a roving tool sale in your area, buy a Taiwanese brand there. They are pretty inexpensive.

Or even stop by your local Harbor Freight for an inexpensive one. I have a 1/2" drive Craftsman but I picked up a 1/4" drive at HF very cheap when doing the head seal/plug fix and it did the job for the cylinder head cover bolts (with a u-joint and/or small extension in some cases).
