Plug caps should have hardly any head apart from what they pick up from the motor.
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

im not sure how hot the motor would make the caps but they sure were warm today, close to melting the rubber of the wire it seemed

I see you are going to do some mods with Hondaman stuff, might pay to leave it until you do those, but as someone else on here suggested a good carb sync can make an enourmous difference to these in-line 4's.
