Intake gaskets
Hi, everybody.
Anxiously awaiting my rebuilt 2.0-liter, and I'm cleaning up all the little bits I've taken off the motor. My question is, can I re-use the plastic head-to-intake manifold insulator/gaskets? New ones are something like $18 apiece (!). I've cleaned the old gaskets on either side down to the plastic, and my thought is to use some high-temp RTV sealant here. Anyone with experience here? And does anyone know the torque specs for the exhaust-port nuts? Can't find it in the Haynes manual.
Thanks in advance.
