Inlet Manifold Gasket

[Jonzy]

Is the inlet manifold gasket single use or can it be used again?

 

[Martyn]

For the price of a new gasket I'd get a new one mate

 

[Jonzy]

How much?

 

[Martyn]

I can't imagine it'd be more than a 3/4 quid mate.

 

[davidol]

what you thinking of? removing the manifold to polish it?

 

[Jonzy]

Oil pressure sender, full access too the oil filter housing You know bling aint my thing

 

[davidol]

yeah didnt think bling was your thing! how you finding the exhaust? have you done any logging? im assuming your airflow will now be better as you havent got such back pressure in the system, have you logged your airflow

 

[Jonzy]

Done nothing yet with logging, loving the exhaust though. Got some heavy work on at the mo so dunno when ill get chance!

 

[davidol]

you work alot in the evenings then is it?

 

[Jonzy]

'homework'

 

[davidol]

what sort of work u in again?

 

[Forbez]

Is that for the NOS?

 

[Jonzy]

Whats for nos?

 

[davidol]

i'd assume fitting nos would require the removal of the inlet manifold as when you drill it it wouldnt put swafe in the intake

 

[Jonzy]

No nothing todo with gas then, it doesnt go into the manifold - plumb the injector for that before the throttle body.

I just wanna get access to the top of the oil filter housing without having to tear my hands to shreads working in a tight space. If the gasket can be used again Ill just reuse it.

 

[PhilW]

When you fit it right a list of all the bits you used to get the manifold back fitted and and what you used to fit the sender.

 

[davidol]

and take photos! im going to take mine off for some polishing action soon as i do like bling!

 

[Jonzy]

Come on lads, put your own balls on the line

 

[PhilW]

Are we that usleless that we cant even fit an oil pressure sender. Whats goin on? 9 months i've had the guages now and its not working, i'm startin to feel ashamed when people keep asking me why it isnt moving.

 

[Forbez]

Same here Phil, but i have an explanation.
It wont move its still in the box!

Its kinda pissing me off too!

Would like to get the oil pressure and temp guage, and the oil catch tank fitted at the same time.

I wonder if badger5 or westec fancy doing a £20 master class, of teaching how to do these things!
