Camelot, been following your adventures. I bought a 560 SEC about 6 weeks ago so I am going through the same thing. I'm still trying to figure everything out. About the dielectric grease and anti-seize - put the grease on both ends of the wires. It will keep moisture out and it should be easier to take the wires off later. You can put the anti-seize most anywhere that you want - BUT, be sure to put them on the spark plugs. This is especially important with aluminum heads. Steel and aluminum together will cause corrosion. It will make the plugs much easier to remove later on.

Have fun with your car, I am.

Hi...yeah aventures of Shadows SEC...The mini series



I will add dig to boots of plugs & boots to cap
planned on that
just wasn't sure if it should have been on contact of rotor & contacts under cap

Might not have been good
since I didn't hear much about it
I opted to do the safe thing

I can try to get some antiseize on the cap screws least bottom
I bought that for the plug threads as I am aware of the alum heads
& thats not a contact
thats a thread

not sure I;d want to put antiseize on a contact point
might mess w electric
They have no corrosion compound for joining wores to alum etc
I even have it
mayube I should have put that on rotor shaft?
make it easier to get off
then again the stuff I have is sort of a paste & it could harden & make it worse

It;s done
I have no desire to uno the job for that

I'll get a lifetime use out of that cap & rotor
