That's what the Service Advisor at the dealer said. He used the same term "bulletproof." Yeah.. one of those issues is coolant leaking from the Intake Manifold. Same with my 79 Olds Cutlass.


I'll have to re-apply dielectric grease to the inside of the boots and the plug tips. Would like to keep air and moisture out of those connections to resist oxidation. Should probably take the plugs out, put some anti-cease on the threads and reinstall. That's the way it has been going with the Riv.. rework, rework, rework.


Maybe it's time to replace the wires after all.
