Ignitor Sitting On Coil Packs

[Cooper]

I have just removed the coil pack cover on my GTR to expose my Splitfires and give them some air while driving.

My question is is it safe to just sit the ignitor on top of the coil pack or will it get to hot and do some damge to the coil it is sitting on.

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

Not good for the ignitor, some here have stuffed them this way, have it up off any contact with the box and the motor/parts.

I personally don't see any benefit from removing your coil pack cover. The rear of the timing cover is actually vented to force, coolish, air through the valley. Therefore you are essentially removing the cooling channel.

Also removing the cover just places the coil packs in general under bonnet conditions, including exposure to dust, moisture etc and leaves the ignitor without a mount. Which as R33S2 has already stated is a good way to kill it.

If you bonnet is vented, and you securely mount the ignito, then they may be some merit however you then add direct exposure to water into the equation.

mines off at the moment, but only temporarily...and I wasn't sure if it was ok to let the ignitor plug sit on the coil pack, so I zip tied it to the ABS line
