Misfire?

First of all I have an almost stock 2001 Gtp with 97k.
So I just replaced my spark plugs (autolite 606's gapped to .56 per Nixon's advice) and wires (just basic parts store $35 WIRES).
What a pain in the a$$, I guess hands are too big for this engine bay. next time im going to pull the engine forward. lol

After everything was put back together It took 3 quick attempts to start. I put the scangauge on misfires and it read about 4 misfires in the first 30 secs. I shut the engine off popped the hood and checked all connections for a tight fit and everything felt good. It started first try after that but ran as high as 8 misfires. Turned off engine, turned back on and went on a test drive. No misfires.

Am I all good?

Btw
-I did not reinstall metal sleeves.
-I hand tightened plugs and then gave about 1/4 turn with wrench
 


Well what cylinders were the misfires on?

And if they arent doing it anymore, then I dont know what to tell you. Because then its running good in my book.
 
Is there a way to tell without a check engine light? Is the scan gauge capable of that?
Has anyone had issues for the first few mins after changing plugs/wires and it goes away?
wtf
 
Just restarted the car. 22 misfires in less than 30 secs but the car seems to be running fine, No check engine lights.
