This is the EXACT reason we tell everyone that comes to the forum to put dielectric grease on both ends of the spark plug wires. Not only does it help make good contact but also stops moisture from getting inside and creating rust.

We also tell everyone to use Anti-seize on all the threads of each plug so months/years later they will come out without any problems. Metal plugs and aluminum heads tend to mate together after a period of time. Not good.
