3. INSTALL SPARK PLUG TUBES
(a) Clean the cylinder head tube holes of any residual adhesive,
oil or foreign particles. Remove any oil with kerosene
or gasoline.
(b) Screw the threads of the spark plug tube coated with
adhesive into the cylinder head.
© Using the spark plug tube nut and a 30 mm socket
wrench, tighten the spark plug tubes.
Torque: 39 N·m (400 kgf·cm, 29 ft·lbf)

right from BGB the adhesive they say to use is

Adhesive:
Part No.08833-00070, Adhesive 1324,
THREE BOND 1324 or equivalent

Could you please link to the appropriate BGB page, this would be the first time I've seen such a recommendation for the 5SFE and the threaded plug tubes. I have seen that for pressed-in tubes, but not the 5SFE's threaded ones.

Ah, EM-53.

If you look over the preparation section of the manual you'll note the adhesive section contains three items.

08826–00080 Seal Packing Black or equivalent (FIPG)
08833–00070 Adhesive 1324, THREE BOND 1324 or equivalent
08833–00080 Adhesive 1344 THREE BOND 1344 LOCTITE 242 or equivalent

Loctite 242 is blue thread locker. Both of the Three Bond products mentioned are also thread lockers, rather than gasket seals.
Ok so now i know what to use to re-install the tubes. Should i remove the first tube and redo that one as well. When i changed the plug in the first spot there was a little oil on it. Not alot just very little.

if you're there then yes, reseal the tubes.
