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. |

25 ft lbs could potentially pull the threads out of the head...
18 ft/lbs is the correct spec. DO NOT use weatherstrip adhesive to hold the copper gaskets to the head, or any other "adhesive" for that matter, and stop listening to the person that told you to do that... Slightly enlarge the gaskets with a pair of expanding pliers. Open them up a little in the middle and they will hold in the head. |
