major gasket question! i know you can reuse alot of the gaskets off the motor. i was wondering what your thoughts were. the front cover,rear cover,crank seals at both ends,valley cover, and oil pan. have you reused all of these once or should i replace them even though they were not leaking before? thanx

Re: major gasket question! I have reused many seals no problem including front and rear seals. I am a GM tech and i used proper Kent Moore Align tool on timing cover last time around, and it caused leakage! Its better to just allow cover to center on crank and snug bolts, same as matching old marks on block. Just thought any one pondering buying tool would want to know that! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
