I made an error a while back putting my tubs onto my manifolds before putting them onto the block not realising you can't access a bolt underneath. The pressed steel gasket between manifold-turbo and turbo-elbow has been squashed so do I need to replace them or can I reuse them. The mounting faces were all very clean before clamping them previously

Reusing the gasket should be ok provided you return it to the same way around as previously fitted, given they are metal encapsulated inner they are very robust.

Brilliant thanks Jeff

I know someone who done that.whos not that far away. and it was a costly mistake.360 goldn nuggets. let that be a leson to me to consentrate more.

for how much they are ... it would be wise just to fit new ones if u can

All good advise but with this engine not been run cannot see it been an issue.

But as for mine, If I'm taking off the manifold then I should replace all gaskets?

yes .. if u have new ones just do it .. and buy good quality ones

Excellent, Cheers Mark, I'm assuming these aren't hard to come by, not like the problem I had with my exhaust.

eerrmmm not sure what the Ebay ones are like ... i generally use Genuine nissan ones carnt go to wrong with them ...

 

and the Turbo Flange ones i try and use the 1mm thick ones but if u have the Alloy flat ones they be ok

Ok cheers bud. I'll keep that in mind for when I get round to it.
