These are the good reasons to keep the wire loom in place.RickHaleParker wrote: 18 Aug 2021, 16:39 Protects from abrasion, corrosion and hungry varmints.
Looks better then the underlying mess of wires.

IPD has good high temperature wire loom for the smaller diameter. Still, it will not last forever.93SCMax wrote: 19 Aug 2021, 05:24 Does anyone have a decent source for a high quality version of this corrugated tubing? Many of the reviews I read about Amazon shipped products indicated some weren't very heat resistant and deteriorated too fast. Maybe something that can be locally sourced at a chain auto parts store?
Thanks.

I had a fearful time removing one spark plug, it wouldn't turn. Once removed, a blackish substance around the thread and in the well was present -- did not know then that the disintegrated loom had turned into lock tight.darylrobert wrote: 19 Aug 2021, 02:47 I recently vacuumed picked that broken corrugated plastic from the spark plug wells before removing the plugs, a real pain. I will not be putting the "VOLVO" cover as i think it traps heat and cooks the coils. For wires near the engine wrap new corrugated in scotch tape.
I used the other spark plugs repeatedly to thread and pick up most of the substance. I suspect some particles may have reached bottom of the oil pan.
