Yea, that's what can happen when boots are installed wrong...on anything.

 

Installed wrong? What do you mean?

You think Motorcraft put them together bad?

I am going to order a whole new set. Luckily I have a bunch of spares laying around.

 

No, when they stick to the plug.

Yea, Motorcraft will only do so much for yuh, you have to install them correctly.

 

They were installed correctly, LOL. You gotta put the line in parallel with the cam covers. Did that.

 

No no lol, common white, -you have to grease the plug w/COP's. You can grease boots, better to grease the plugs so you don't contaminate the connection. That way they seal and remain lubbed up. Otherwise they don't mount all the way, (causes a poor connection) and they can be a mother to get off the next time. The boot can actually fold inside the chamber. You haven't realized that one yet ? Greasing is a must.

 

Pretty sure they were pre-greased. I could be wrong though. I will be sure to check the new set. It's been 6 years since I did it though, so..... I dunno.

 

Yea coils don't come per-greased from the factory. Hell yea, that grease will stay there until you change them. Keep them sealed water/coolant won't cut it. Well, coolant might after a long period of time. Kind of doubt coolant could remain there long enough though. Before realizing there's a problem anyway.

But you have to use a dielectric that won't solidify, one that retains it's composer in a heated situation.

It's a must though, for a few good reasons that have to do with longevity and R&R. Never had a coil go bad or deal with one stuck on the plug (in the truck anyway). I've swapped mine out due to age for the most part. Well, I blew the top off #4 and fried 3 others welding on the truck, lost my PCM as well. Other than that, not a problem.

Surprised you didn't know this I guess.

 

I know for a fact my Motorsport wires came pregreased. I guess I better triple check these ones I order.

 

You don't have to grease them, just trying to help you out.

 

OMG -I hope no body saw that...it wasn't for here. You guys should of told me
