spacers are being re-installed tomorrow from the shop.

ANy pointers this time around to possibly avoid this problem from occuring again?

I figured it wasn't the RTV because I knew for a fact only the bare minimum was used on mine but didn't want to speculate in case it solve your problem.

Can you take a vid? I'm not sure whether it's a small hiccup or if it's really bad. It'll give me something to compare mine to. B/c mine's nothing. No one that rides in the car even notices it if it happens.

ironically as the weather got cooler here in NY, the problem went away

I do have a small clip from when the problem was there before. I'll upload it from my phone in a few.

yessir. 100% sure its not a problem with the plugs. This occurance is conditional on a few circumstances...if it was the plugs, every start up would be problematic
