[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 1360639, member: 615"] It's a pity that coolant pipe is not heavily insulated. That thing dumps a lot of heat into the area. The coolant temp is typically at 175 F or higher. I don't know what the ambient temp would typically be in that area but it's elevated. I was always concerned about the plug wires touching the coolant pipe but they've survived so far. It was great when they got rid of those bulky plug wires and went to individual coils on the plugs. Hopefully the coil assemblies are more easily removed than the plug wire caps. I damaged a cap on my Gen I trying to wrestle it out one day. It was stuck and didn't want to come out. Thought about using compressed air to pop it out. [/QUOTE]
