I am in the middle of changing my plugs and coolant tees, the hard side is done and I thought I was going to coast through the job with no pain. The first pack I removed on the left side .... the seal stuck to the valve cover, and before I could grab it, it slid loose and disappeared. I haven't been able to locate it. The gremlins got it!
The OEM pack comes with the seal installed, but I can't find the part by itself and the stealer wants $135 for a coil. And he wouldn't sell me just the seal..... I could buy the coil here for $85
oem coil
Or a generic here for $23.
POS Chinese junk coil
I am hoping somebody knows the part number for another vehicle, so I can just order the seal and be done. Alternately, would the second aftermarket seal fit my OEM coil correctly? Or should I just order the OEM coil, take the seal and throw the coil in my spares kit?
Finally, there is a little slot in the seal, I assume it is a tiny drain or vent opening and needs be at 6:00 o'clock position. In the first pic the slot is at 8:00. Is straight down correct or does it even matter? Thanks,
