That is correct. It doesn't conduct electricity, which makes it perfect for use on the boots to seal and prevent sticking. It also makes it the last thing you want to come between the coil and the plug.

 

Very Good.

mh - A little more. -COP Ig boots are done like this. Once you slick up the ENTIRE inside of the boot, slide it over the spring. Now use a small screw driver or hemostats to pull the spring end from the end of the boot about a half inch or so. Swipe the end of the spring with Lacquer thinner. That cleans and evaporates fairly quick.

That's how you do it if you don't want to take a chance of having to go at it again in the near future.

Once clean and dry, let the spring go, it will recoil back into the boot. The coil is ready for mounting.

BTW- Make sure you use Dielectric grease that will not solidify over time. A lot of them do, - so read the back.

 

DO you think I should clean all the springs with lacquer thinner and reinstall them?

 

Yes.

 

I usually turn the coil about 10* so the mounting point pushes below the threaded portion of the cylinder head to insure it goes all the way down on the plug, then twist it back to bolt it in place.

sorry if that doesnt make sense in text form

 

No, just the ends were they contact the plugs. Like I described.

Lacquer thinner works the best. Try to avoid getting it on the boots.

Other grease cutting agents may work as well. It's less work w/thinner.
