So I was changing my plugs this morning in an 05x, and I got to the drivers side rear plug, closest to the firewall.

As I was taking the bolt loose, it snapped off and half the screw was still down inside the threads. After a couple hours or trying to drill the screw out, I was unsuccessful and ruined the brass threads the bolt should have screwed into.

The coil pack sits down in how it should fine, but is a bit looser than I would like. There is a metal bracket for all the wiring that sits over top of it, but not close enough to put pressure on the coil pack and hold it in place.

Couple questions:

What is the black "headcover" piece called, if I wanted to buy a new one or get used?

Is it safe to drive? I started it up and it runs fine, not chugging or missing at all.

Or, should i just jam something between the metal bracket and the top of the coil pack to hold it in place.......... actually kidding


If I drive it for a few days or at least to drop it off at the dealer tomorrow is there a risk of fire? The last thing I need it for it to catch fire.

Please help!!!!!!!

 

Highly doubt it, the last time one of my coilpacks was loose all it did was cause that cylinder to misfire.

 

valve cover

 

I've been trying to find the DIY for the valve covers for over two hours. Search isn't finding it or I'm just slow. Could be either. Do you know where that's located??

 

which one you looking for..??
