I have been checking with several manufacturers over the last year or two, and they all gave me the same answer. You can stand a coil with the coil wire tower
up or sideways, but not pointed down. If the tower is pointed down the primary winding's are not covered in oil that is used to transfer heat, and act as a dielectric insulation between winding's. Due to smaller wire gauge the primary winding's are a lot smaller coil than they used to be and set at the bottom of the coil canister. I cannot speak to the epoxy coils i do not know how full they run them. The oil filled coils expand a great deal and must have head space. maybe not on the epoxy.
Safety: If you desire to look for yourself remember the transformer oil may contain dioxin a bad substance. read the MSDS Sheet on it.
