Buttoning up my head gasket job.

I'm trying to be forward thinking. It sure would be easier to be able to change wires if I could think of someplace else to mount those coil packs or even letting then "float" without being mounted at all.

I'm wondering if I surround them in pieces of old cut up serpentine belt if that would provide good protection while, at the same time, giving me ease of access?

Obviously, you don't want them banging or vibrating against the intake. That sounds like damage waiting to happen....but what if they were loose, but in a rubber cocoon?

Silly and unconventional, I know, but still something to ponder.

 

I did not bother bolting all 4 bolts on just the bottom 2 since they were so tough to get to with the upper IM in place.

 

Reinstall them now.
