QLD Posted 03/09/08 08:58 AM Share Posted 03/09/08 08:58 AM Hey guys, as the thread title says, when I was changing my spark plugs, a number of the little rubbers fell off, and at the time I didn't think anything of it.In another thread, I read that the rocker cover garnish holds the coils in... but without my rubbers, does that mean my coils aren't being held in properly?I'm thinking of buying a new set of coils anyway... do they come with the rubbers? Or do I have to buy them seperately? Any help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
