Default Valve cover gasket repair question!
When you remove and paint your valve cover, is there a gasket that you have to replace?

Yeah recommended...i replaced mine the first time i took it off over a year ago and 2 times after used the same one and its still like the day i bought it.

I would say if its not leaking before you take it apart, it will be fine for reuse.

I was quoted $38.00 for a B18c gasket, is that reasonable?
