Running four BUR7EQ OK?

89' vert

I had a horrible misfire at idle and you could hear it pop every once and awhile (very noticeable) and i had 4 brand new BUR7EQ's lying around.

I decided to throw them in and see what happens and lo and behold it was fine. The next morning i went to the local parts store and tried to purchase a set of trailings but no luck, no one has them in stock or can even order them for awhile (3-5 weeks) or if i do get them from someone in stock its about 30$ a plug.

I decided to research about running 4 leadings and all i found was some people run 4 trailings.... any ideas if this will cause damage? I drove it around for awhile and havent noticed any issues but i just dont want to grenade my engine or what not.

Am i ok or am i off my rocker ?

I don't think I'd do it long term, but to get you by in this pinch you may be fine. I think high rpm once the plugs get some miles on them is when you may see issues. Have you looked on Rockauto.com? They are $4.74usd. there. I think they ship to Canada. Not sure though.
