do i need new gaskets when installing my ssv, if so would a motordyne thermal gasket be the best option, or can i just keep the stock one??

sorry if this is a dumb question

 

I believe I used the stock one.

 

I believe Kinetix is providing a "new" intake manifold gasket with the SSV. If not, I would contact them or get a "new" gasket from your local dealer.

 

The TB gasket is not used and i DO think the new SSV shipps w/ a cork gasket already glued onto the manifold?

 

yeah i have the cork gasket glued to the manifold, just checked. thanks guys.

 

your welx. The cork stuff sucks. Make sure to check for leaks when ur done installing..
PS.. make sure u seat the passanger side bolts in the manifold before putting the manifold on the block otherwise ur gonna have problems fitting bolts in there. Theres not enough room to stick them in. Seat them, screw them in a little and tighten in an alternating pattern like you would a wheel on a car (star pattern)

 

cool thaks for the install info. why dose the cork stuff suck??
