my machine guy says that I need a gasket for this part in the picture. Does a gasket need to go between this cap and the head. i know it is hard to understand. in the one picture the part is there and the other picture i took the part off to show. i didnt believe there is a gasket so i went to the dealership and had a guy look up diagrams and all diagrams we pulled up there is no gasket to be found for this part.. just verifying with you guys before i go tell my machine guy he is an ahole need help asap please

 

Really need someone's opinions and or knowledge

 

you talking about the valve cover gasket with the gaskets for the spark plugs?

never mind i dont even know what that part is.

 

It is the pressure regulator for the oil to the top part of the head (after the turbo and lifter oil feeds). I am not sure if there is a gasket that needs to be there but I do not believe so. Any shop or person who has replaced with a Kiggly pressure regulator can answer your question.

You could send a PM to RusselM (Mitsubishiparts.net sales guy) and get an answer and part number on Monday probably. They will also sell it to you for a lot cheaper than a dealership.

 

It is just an oil sender/sensor. Just seeing of anyone has ever looked or know or even if anyone has there valve cover off to just look if it has a gasket on it! The guy at the dealership printed me out papers showing there is no gasket and I bought a whole engine gasket kit for the build and there is no gasket in that set for it.. so I'm led to believe there is not one but my machine guy says there was! Just making sure my facts are right before I say anything

 

How would I get a hold of Russell.m just call Monday?
Nevermind i found him on here thank you !

 

i have a picture with my valve cover off from a whyll back not sure if you can see what you want to see from what i can tell there looks like it has a gasket or at least a differnt color between the two parts..

having issues with posting the picture ill work on getting it up

 

compared to my picture... it just looks like oil outlining the crease between the part and the head. no noticeable gasket though. thanks for the help and pic

 

hope it helped good luck.

 

It is different colors I saw another pic too but I can't tell if it is oil or a gasket! This is one of those dumb problems that are annoying lol
