I lost (or it was already missing) when I was changing spark plugs. Do I need to get this before I reassemble or can it wait or be foregone?
how important is the gasket on the ignition coil? (1 Viewer)

Are you taking about the rubber insulator that sits on top of the spark plugs, this is important as it isolates electrically the engine metal from the connection point to stop the spark arcing across.

Yep. Shoot.
I am sure someone on here has a spare you could have, I have 8 in my shed, but being I am in the UK that doesn't help much.
The Denso kit with the boots, gaskets, and dielectric grease is 671-8184 if you need to order them. Comes with all 8. I have spares but trust me after 180k they wouldn't be worth your trouble and cost of shipping.
Forgot to add
I ran my car a week without 2 of the boots and it had a rough idle and misfires etc. Replaced those two and car ran a lot better. Wasn't till I replaced all 8 that it idled like new. Dealership said I needed new coils, 15k miles since and no issues to report.
