Valve cover/spark plug well gaskets
« on: June 02, 2008, 04:47:49 pm »


 I'm gonna re-seal my valve cover gasket tonight (it's got a little leak on the exhaust side right above the manifold)
How are the spark plug well gaskets on the 4g63, should I reseal/replace them, or are they reusable?

 Thanks. wasn't sure if they were included or not. Sorry, I wrote it funny, i'm replacing my old one, not just re-sealing it.


 Edit: Well, that was easy.

 BTW, I used Red RTV, not black (Couldn't find black) is that ok?

 I always try to err on the side of overkill ;) Like my AFPR to replace a stock FPR, with no real *need* for it.
