silicon sealant on coil

[Stanl]

Personally I've never tried this.

Does anyone know of an advantage or disadvantage to sealing the cover to the coil?

Is there any detrimental effect on the coil operation?

Regards,

Anyone know anything about this topic, or have an opinion about this topic?

Hi Stan,

I silicone almost every coil/scuff cover for all my machines, keeps out water, sand etc, no build up no falsing.
Ever need to remove a cover just trace around seam with a razor blade, box cutter or an exacto knife comes off no problem.
I have been running some coils for five + years and no need to reseal them.
Some coils which are not waterproof such as the Coiltek Joey I put silicone down the wire/strain relief and a gasket at the point where the strain relief enters the top surface of the coil, good insurance.

Cheers,

Drew.
