V6 Cam gasket kit
« on: 11 February 2009, 19:23:41 »
Bought the cam cover gasket kit from the oof shop :y

Kit doesn't come with all the gaskets mentioned in Mdtm's guide, so am i to assume that the 3 missing items are not to be replaced but refitted? :-?

Inlet Bridge to head 90501652 2off
Inlet to inlet Bridge  90501653 3off
Inlet to Plenum O rings 9118135 6off

Or do i need to source these myself from local stealer? and if so how much are they?

cheers guys :y

Re-use, yet to see a car that needed them replacing plus they will double the cost.

Glad they arrived ok!

You nip down to HellFrauds and buy their 'low range' torque wrench... or if your passing this way you can borrow mine.
