Changed plugs and coils yesterday - concerned

[jruppert]

Changed plugs coils yesterday. Driver side looked fine but the passenger side looked horrible. I noticed a couple screws missing from cover.

As I'm sure you know, you have water getting in those coil wells. The screws missing from the cover didn't help, but your real problem is the foam seal around the passenger side wiper shaft. It's a known issue, but cheap and easy to replace. That will keep the water from pouring onto the engine in the first place.

How is that plug just floating in the air?

Plug is held by magnet.

I will find a couple new screws for cover and will fix the wiper seal

That's no magnet, it's a wand. *POOF*

I had that same rust forming on mines what I did was put some black RTV gasket maker, under and above where the wires come in at the firewall, there is a indent I lifted the wire out of this indent put a glob of it in the indent pressed the wires into to then put a glob on top of the wires. For the life of me I couldn't understand why lincoln used a sponge material to seal that opening. Then I made a edging on the cover from the rear to just past half, cause my oil filler tube is leaking at the gasket where it seats in to the valve cover. tighten it down and left it, haven't been in there so I couldn't tell you if it worked but I assume it did.

You misspelled Magic.

ahhh, the old leaky wiper cowl trick... been there before.

 

[jruppert]

Huh? Misspelled magic? It was held by a magnet.

I just wonder what I'm going to find today when I change my coils.
