[gOt BoOsT]

id redo it just to be sure...dont want to pop a head gasket.

yep.. that was a marine grease... i like to use a good grease on them bc those rubber gasket thingies dry out very often and get ripped apart then allows moisture down into the cavity in there rusting your plugs and ruining your coil... keeping them nice a lubed and soft keeps the water out.

plug #1 has a ribber washer... you mean on the plug on the harness? the orange thing? or you referring to the actual spark plug had a rubber washer of some sort on it?





Thank you!! i appreciate that. Feel free to jump in on the artwork campaign not much competition

Got a STUPID question, can you use vasaline on the rubber gaskets to keep them soft and water tight?

Yes, what is the lube that I should be using?

Vasaline?
White Lithium?
Dieletric?
Marine grease of some sort?
something else really speacial, expensive and impossible to find?

I read the following:

Apply a small amount of lubricant to the spark plug threads prior to installation (Loctite brand anti-seize compound (BRP part number 293 800 070))

also:

Apply a liberal amount of dielectric grease/compound to the fitment as shown in the images and it will not only protect the coil, it will keep out debris and water (Dow Corning 111 compound - BRP Part Number 413 707 000)

I have a torque wrench that I'd like to use for this project so I don't over tighten, anyone know what I should set it to?



P.S. Thanks original poster for the pictures.
