Re: Is cheaper VC gasket from Eeuroparts good enough? Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Is cheaper VC gasket from Eeuroparts good enough?, PeterH, Tue, 28 Sep 2004 07:58:45 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The cheaper one will work just fine. The average life of a valve cover gasket is about 50-60K miles. After that they get hard.
Please do me a favor?
Pull one of the cylinder head bolts out of the engine and tell me what it looks like in shape compared to this picture below.
If it looks like the one on the left it is what we call the old style head bolt.
I'm trying to narrow down when the new style bolt was introduced in the 4 cyl engines from factory.
Since your car is an 98 it is of big interest for me. A 99 9-3 that I did the other week had the new style bolts from factory.
Could you also give me the built date of your car. It is a white sticker on the driver door pillar. In the upper left corner it says "date" and the month/year of when your car was built.
You can click on my name up at "posted by" and send an E-mail.
Thanks before hand
Anders
