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. |

use a 1/4" drive socket on the he nuts. the thin wall gives you more wiggle room. often, if you feel around the inner edge of the copper gasket you can find an edge that protudes slightly inside the exhaust port in the head and you can hook it with one of these. i've used a extreemely small dab of grease on the top side of the gasket to stick it in place when putting the he on. you have to work fast.
