New Plugs and Wires. 98SL2

I am putting in Bosch Premium wire set ... and Bosch Platinum 2 plugs ... is
that ok? and, should I put anything on them to make the easier to get out? The
plugs say they give more powerful spark. Should I not put them in? Roy,

I thought the platinum plugs gave some users probs - the factory plugs seem
to be the faves. And if they don't come with a little anti-seize on the
threads, some put a dab on. And don't over-torque (I don't remember the
spec off the top of my head). Don't forget to run the new wires exactly
like the OEM's (with attention to the cyl 1 and cyl 4 placement because of
its interaction with the computer).

Kirk is good to give the science and detail behind this stuff - Kirk, you
hearing this? (smile)

 

Don't forget some silicone grease on the boots. NGK-V's are my
preferred plug for my Saturn.

....glad your brain still works - mine feels like it's on vacation here
lately... (grin)

 

I use nothing but Bosh Platinum + 4 on my 96 SL2 runs great never any
problem (270,000 mi to date)

 

What do you mean Cyl placement? Do you mean Firing Order?

....cables that feed cyl 1 and cycl 4 have to be next to each other at the
coil packs - I have a picture at www.jonniesantos.com/saturn.htm . And
Kirk has shared this link before too:

....wow, that speaks for itself - thanks! Are you on the same engine (just
curious)?

 

In my many experiences I have found Bosch plugs to be flat junk. Check
the wires with an ohm meter to make sure they are good! I have run into
many brand new sets with at least one or 2 nearly or totally shot wires.
