    Dielectric Grease is applied to the inside of the rubber spark plug boot. This helps to seal out moisture, dirt and other contaminants. At the same time, it helps the boot to slide on over the spark plug and keeps if from welding (adhering) to the spark plug and from cracking/splitting from the high temperature environment that it lives in. Without Dielectric Grease your boots may stick to the spark plug when you try to remove them the next time you service the plugs. There is a chance that you will damage the boot while removing it if this happens.

    They do not. And I do not have connections with anyone who does.

    I do have a customer who tested the Iridium IX against the OEM spark plugs on his 998. He even went so far as to test quite a few gap settings. And he was able to get some impressive results when you consider it's just a spark plug change. He ended up with a .040 gap as being the best setting.
