DI Cassette Replacement: My Story

I have a 1995 900 SET-C with 67k miles. I found it in Florida last year and the service records indicated the DI was never replaced. So, I thought I would do a preemptive strike and replace the DI.
All went smoothly until I had to remove the old unit. The rubber boots had fused to the spark plugs. All of the gentle coaxing in my power could not get them off. In the struggle, two of the plug towers on the cassette cracked-off. Very brittle due to heat and age, I imagine. So that hosed my strategy of keeping the old cassette in the trunk as an emergency spare. I guess a strategy of refreshing the silicone grease in the boot is needed here.
Anyway, I installed new plugs (NGK BCPR6ES11 gapped to .035 per Dean) and changed an absolutely filthy air filter. Immediate gains in smoothness and turbo performance is noted.
Now, I have this old DI cassette with the black phenolic plastic housing cracked. If anybody wants to rebuild, the rest of the unit should be functional. You can email me at patcat@myway.com.
Now, another preemptive strike.....this time on the upper serpentine belt idler pulley. I'm waiting for the GM belt...I will report later.
