So, I received the longer bolts to install the coils. I decided to stick with my plan and torque them to 20lb/inch and use purple Loctite. Then, I ran into my next issue. While tightening the coil bolts by hand with a 1/4 ratchet and two fingers, the Holley provided plastic gen V coil spacers splintered all the way around. I didn't realize they were pretty much not useable until I had them all installed. I thought, well, if they are brittle now, how brittle will they be after they've been heat cycled a bunch of times? So, I called Holley to ask what could be done. I called on a Saturday and the rep said he would need to call me back on Monday. When I didn't hear anything back, I figured I needed to come up with something better on my own. So, I got some round aluminum rod and decided to make some spacers of my own. Seems like complete overkill now that it's finished, but it's one less thing to worry about down the road. Holley should just included these in the kit instead.
Putting in some work on the lathe...
3 hours and 16 spacers later...
