Bosch wires are not bad, I personally prefer the BWD or Autolite brand wires, when it comes to OEM quality replacements. MSD gets my vote for the performance wires.

MSD also are very heat resistant yesterday i found out that for 6 months they were laying on my engine because the mechanic didn't separate them with anything or put a cover on them.

Setting on the engine where? My wires sit on top of my intake and are in direct contact with the intake. That is how the factory did it too. The top of the intake does not get hot enough to burn the wires. Now if they were sitting on the exhaust manifolds and didnt burn that would be great.

To me the engine bay is dirty LOL that was right after I put the new engine in the car. I like to detail all of my car including the engine bay. I will take some new shots in the spring once the nasty weather goes away and I can keep things in there clean.
