Thumbs up Taylor OVC wires installed!

I was having some problems with hesitation after my header install. It seems that the number 6 wire had burnt and when the car was scanned it showed a misfire in cylinder #6. Luckily I had a set of Thunder Racing Taylor OVC wires sitting around at home.

I am by no means a mechanic but since my brother didn't want to help (claimed they were a pita to install), I decided to take some time and do it myself.

In total it only took around 6-7 hours. I removed the alt, serpintine belt and intake track. I found the trick to getting the boots on was using silicone spray soaking both the boots and wires before atempting to slide the boots on.

The car no runs perfect and the wires look great! I am posting this just to let others know that it's really not as hard as most say it is, just time consuming. Patience is the key!

The trick for me was using BOTH the silicone spray in the can, and also the silicone grease they supply. They slide on like butter then!

Sounds good. I also used silicone spray on my wires, got the boot on first, then crimped and pulled the boot back over it. Took me 2-3 hrs since everything was off for my header install but overall not too bad. So far my wires still look good and havent come close to burning on the headers after 2 months.
