Mine would collect a lot of dirt on the back plugs. Number 8 was the worst.


I always blew them out, sometimes had to loosen it up with a screwdriver.


Either way my new EQ heads dont have them

I've got no problem at all reaching any of the plugs with the Gibson headers and factory heat shields in place.

Lotsa room around the Gibsons... I just remembered that I snapped a couple of photos. Here's the passenger side:



All the room in the world there.
