Yeah it may help a bit but i doubt that it will even reach the threads on the plug cos it is done up. Wont do any harm though! The only thing that may happen if it is really tight is break the spark plug, but there are ways to get it out. Never had one break on me on a vaux engine tho.

wd40 should be ok, if the plugs that tight then it will be seeled quite well obviously so let it soak for a little bit and then try. dont know if thats much help though!
