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. |

OK. some more questions. What is the torque spec on the exhaust system parts.?None of the manuals I habe mention them. Also, a friend told me to use 3M weather stip adhesive to hold the gaskets to the heads. I had been trying to hold them to the H/Es. I am going to try and remove the current studs and put in longer ones to help with the mounting problem. I guess you area suggesting to use a straight edge to check square on the HE. If it needs squaring, how do you suggest doing it?
