Subject: I agree, the plug boot is a PITA. I gave up the first time. Author: jeffc as JeffChia : member since January, 2006 : 572 posts Posted on: 2008-06-17 11:46:16

I found it was easy when I have the intakes., all the hoses and stuff near the plugs out of the way when I did the intake gaskets.
I sprayed silicon lube in the boot instead of dielectric grease (which conducts ??? no??).
