hi all does anyone know when i change my rocer cover gaskets do i also need to change all the o rings and seals for the inlet manifold or could i use instant gasket sealant
cheers

[tunnie]

don't use instant gasket crap, O rings on the inlet manifold should be fine to reuse a few times, as long as they have some give in them, if they are rock hard, need replacing. Use genuine only

I did the rocker cover gasket change, and would recommend doing the other gaskets as well,

Hi Dave and welcome to the forum.

You will need to replace the 16 O rings for the camcovers but the inlet manifold seals and O rings should be ok to use again

thanks all the originals look fine it cant do any damage if i use the old ons as that part of the unit just sucks air doesnt it

You can re-use the originals if they're sound.
Yes, instant gasket is crap - but you can use a little black mastic (like Sikaflex) simply smeared around them instead. Mastic will not harden and if you only smear it around the 'o' rings, there won't be any breaking off and falling inside the oilways or breathers!
