A little experience...... Posted by Herb Hirsch [Email] (#114) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Herb Hirsch) on Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:00:20 In Reply to: Re: Changing DIC, Stephen Goldberger, Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:32:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
A small amount of dielectric grease should be used in the hole on the rubber boots that fit over the top of the spark plugs. Failure to do so can result in the boot sticking to the top of the spark plug when you attempt to remove the DIC 30K mile later when it's time to change the plugs as part of scheduled preventive maintenance.
Years ago I did fail to use some dielectric grease. When I attempted to remove the DIC two of the rubber boots tore. These are NOT available as a separate part. Fortunately, I had saved the bad DIC which had four good boots. Now, I always have a good set of DIC rubber boots.....just in case.
