Hi all,,, 



quick question from those of you in the know... I'm having a discussion with my mechanic guy about the "cigarettes" on the plug wires.



We replace the plugs with new ones, we cleaned the cigarettes, and he wants to put dielectric grease on the cigarettes and contact spring.



I had read, you clean these then leave them alone, even the oil on your hand  will cause carbon tracking?



should we be putting grease on the cigarettes and springs



CJ6, housai, chinese plugs and wires



thanks



Mike

The answer is Yes.  Dielectric/silicone grease will not cause carbon tracking, in fact it prevents it.  It is also used in hi performance spark plug boots to prevent spark tracking down the side of the plug and ease removal of the boot.  It also prevents corrosion inside the plug or boot.
