Title: inlet sealings
Post by: vrba on 19 March 2008, 09:54:11

I recently changed cam cover sealing’s but I didn’t change any other sealing when putting all together, so I’m wondering did I must change inlet sealing (red one) to, beside o-rings on plenum?
Because I’m guessing that now I got some vacuum leak because my average consumption is going up when steady.

Red seals ...... Did you remove the inlet manifold / injector assembly? The seals are usually OK to reuse but you must check that they are not damaged or squashed.
If the manifold is removed it is a good idea to try a straight-edge across the brass threaded bushes in the inlet bridge, I have seen these so distorted (due to over-tightening?) that the inlet manifold was not pressing on the seals.
