Need info on gaskets for install
Need info on gaskets for install
I'll be installing my cams, studs, fuel pump, exhaust manifold, o2 housing, and tme turbo soon, needed to know what gaskets I may need. Exhaust manifold, valve cover, donut from dp to o2 housing, did i miss anything? Thanks in advance
You shouldnt need to replace any of the gaskets when you do any of these installs unless your pulling the head off the motor
1. donut gasket o2 housing to dp is reusable just dont gouge the **** out it when taking it off
2. OEM gasket between O2 housing & hotside is metal sojust dont bend or break it
3. OEM gaskets (theres 2) between mani and engine block are also metal so dont bend or break them
4. valve cover gasket is rubber so dont tear it and you can reuse it
I guess it doesnt hurt to buy all new gaskets but I didnt replace any on my car and I know a 1/2 dozen other local evos that Ive helped work on that reused the stock gaskets all w/ no problems
just a suggestion to try to save you a little money

Heres the list I managed to put together using the parts # list
Exhaust manifold to turbo gasket
Lower Ic pipe to turbo gasket
Exhaust manifold (manifold to head) gasket
o2 housing to downpipe donut gasket
valve cover gasket
metal gasket between turbo and o2 housing
oil drain tube to turbo gasket
also someone mentioned i should change the copper crush washer on the oil feed line to the turbo, any idea if this is anything i listed above?
