Default Gasket Opinion??
I'm gonna be doing another head/cam swap Friday, and would like some opinions. I was wondering if I should pay $21 and replace the front engine press fit seal. I replaced it once already, about 5k miles ago. Would it be a good idea to replace it, or is it just a waste of $$. I don't want to replace it if I don't have to, but don't want a leak either.
