did you drop anything down the cylinders when you removed the plugs??
did the plugs match up to the old ones??

i dont know if a piece of plastic from the old plug fell down but i got a camera to check and cant see anything and the plugs were proper same size.

crank it without the plugs in it to see if it throws anything out from the compression.
