The guy who replaced my HEs used the old gaskets. Now, one side, I can't remove the old gaskets and on the other, one bent and pulled a stud. I hate this Fing design and am about to just go back to 911s exclusively. A completly BS design!!!!!!!
Can I use the old gaskets w/o having a major leak? I am seriously pissed at this thing. Been working on theis for about 6 hours now. About as long as it takes to do a quick rebuild on a type 1. |

Update:
I used a combo of ideas posted and given. I purchased a curved pick to pull the gaskets and that worked great. Using a cobo of ideas on the gaskets, I decided to use a bead of Automotive Goop around the perimeter of the gasket, doing my best to ensure that none gets on either face, and stuck the gaskets in place. I reamed out the flanges where the studs go through and mounted the one HE in place. It all went well but I won't know how well 'till all is in place. I will check their tightness at 18 ft/lbs. I next have to deal with the other side. The real PITA is that after checking the pulled stud, I believe the nut may have bottomed on the threads of the stud so I will have to pull all of them and re-install and then time-cert the last one. I could not find a stepped stud that was long enough. |
