Hello folks,
At about 13K I replaced my plugs and found that one (probably the exhaust plug on cylinder#1) was rusted. A white looking patina with some clear rust spots all over the metal part of the lower plug and down to the washer. No corrosion on the plug threads at all.
At 26K (last week or so), I did a valve adjustment and replaced the plugs again. This time the same plug was corroded and a second coil looked "rusty" in the gap in the plastic.
Any thoughts on how I might be able to waterproof them? I put a bit of dielectric grease on the contacts inside the coil contact and around the rubber boot/flange that sits on the cylinder cover.
