Are all terms <=6?

This is A067970 without its first term. [From R. J. Mathar, Aug 17 2009]

Yes, all terms are at most 6. For a value of 8, we have to have p, p+2, p+4 all prime, and this is possible only for p=3. As a result, 1 would have to be an odd composite number, which it is not. Therefore all terms are <=6. [From J. Lowell, Aug 17 2009]
