plug boot and dielectric grease

[turboaddict2]

when you put the grease on the plug boot do you put it inside the boot all the way in or just at the base of the boot? I usually put the grease on the inside of the boot. Should I put some on the plug too?

You can wipe some of the grease on the ceramic part of the plug and put some inside the boot. I just spread it kind of around the immediate inside of the boot - I don't stick the tube in there and really go to town on it.

The last time this was covered it was shown that the grease should actually cover the metal connectors and then they will displace it when snapped together.

I change/check my plugs often enough and use a bit less than what you would see perhaps in the fan relay contacts.

I ring the very front of the boot with a small bead. Just enough to make it slide on and off easily. I had trouble if there was too much compound that hit the conductive parts. In high voltage applications a dielectric is used more as an insulator than a conductor. I use the same theory for the 12,000 volts that go through the secondary of our coil packs.

I am curious about using dielectric grease on fan relay contacts though!

I have used the silicone spray if that makes it any easier. Anyone try that?

is it ok to use dielectric grease on the grounds that attach to the inner fenders?
