loose coil paks
Changed the plugs in the old v10 today and noticed that a few of the coil paks were still able to be turned a little even after tightening the small bolts nice and snug. I assume that since they have the large rubber boots that fit nicely into the hole that all will be OK. has anyone else noticed this before??
thanks jeff

I was poking around under the hood and wiggled the first two coils i checked, didnt check the other coils, but i imagine they were the same.Probaly to shield them from vibration.

The coil hold-down flanges have small brass bushings in them that do not allow you to tighten them down hard against the head. This was done (I believe) to prevent damage to the hold-down flange. All of my coils move to some degree.
