profile gasket & upper pan gasket
« on: March 03, 2013, 03:19:33 PM »
In the process of refreshing my timing components I noticed my profile gasket looks like my gut hanging over my beltline.



And my upper pan gasket is similar



Do you advise replacing?  Probably a stupid question but on the off chance I might save a bunch of work I'd thought I'd ask.

Thanks
Mike

IMHO better now than later.  The profile gasket does tend to squeeze out a bit, even when it's good.  Post some pics if you get a chance.

Don't know where the post went.  I tried to post pics and they were just red x's.  Went back to try and edit and poof post gone.  I'll try later.  Thanks

Hmm, not sure what's wrong.  My apologies.

Maybe I need administrator approval.  Just tried again.  Post appeared, albeit with broken picture links, now it is gone too.
