Question for all of my friends out there. I have a 2000 996 C2 Cab. I do all of the maintenance (within reason) to my vehicle. I am in the process of a spark plug change. Currently I have 64000 miles. I removed the plugs quite easily, I must add after I removed the mufflers, I found three damaged coil pack tubes. Looks like the oil that seeped in due to bad spark plug tubes and upper and lower "O" rings has eaten the rubber tips. I order all new Spark Plug Tubes and Upper and Lower "O" Rings. I will be replacing them on Wednesday. My question to everyone is this. Is it OK to run the 3 new coil packs that I purchased from Pelican along side of the three old ones that were not damaged at all? I really don’t want to spend $130.00 on 3 additional ones unless I absolutely should. Also do the coil packs, that are still in good shape, have to go back over the same Spark Plug tube that they came out of? or can I put them anywhere?. I ask that because I am considering putting the 3 new ones on one side and the 3 old on the other. That way I know exactly what I have to change next month. Last question...Porsche sells Spark Plug Tube grease in a little tube for $47.00. Do I need to lube the spark plug tubes to get them back in the cylinder walls? $47.00 for less than an ounce is pretty steep unless it is a must. If I can use something else in its place what would that be? Thanks so much for all of your help. This forum has really given me back my confidence with my mechanical abilities. Hopefully I will be able to handle my clutch this coming spring. Tim
