Replacing UVCH and Gaskets

Much to my surprise, I got my Harness and Valve Cover gaskets in today from Riffraff. I just ordered them late Wednesday!

I am replacing because after using the OEM wedge clips I started having issues off and on related to the UVCH again. I was just wondering if anyone uses Dielectric grease on the 9 pin connector and harness?

You can, but use a small amount. There is usually not a big issue there where you need the grease, but too much and you can cause issues.
