drob Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 finally have a bit of spare time tomoro so will be installing the 5/16 iso therm plenum spacer, im not installing a mrev2, so do you only replace the gasket if your doing the mrev2 Quote
BladesGrant Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 finally have a bit of spare time tomoro so will be installing the 5/16 iso therm plenum spacer, im not installing a mrev2, so do you only replace the gasket if your doing the mrev2 I just used the original gasket when I fitted mine. Don't you need to swap like you say. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Do you mean the think plenum gasket? Or the lower Aramid gasket that fits below the lower collector? If its the latter, yep, fit it whilst your doing the spacer. Saves time! Quote
drob Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 i mean the gasket under the lower plenum, didnt see why i had to take it off in the first place Quote
andlid Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 i mean the gasket under the lower plenum, didnt see why i had to take it off in the first place you didnt need to take the lower plenum off for a plenum install. you will need to reuse the oem gasket and also use the provided gasket that came with the spacer. I'd use a bit of gasket on tube and locktite on the bolts too, and not overtighten the 6 middle ones! Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 i mean the gasket under the lower plenum, didnt see why i had to take it off in the first place This one? Quote
andlid Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 hmmm is it an copper gasket ? or an insulator or something? might be for heat soaking... in that case you should have fitted it... Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 hmmm is it an copper gasket ? or an insulator or something? might be for heat soaking... in that case you should have fitted it... Exactly!! Its the Aramid Gasket that fits below the lower collector to stop heat soak! Quote
Chris`I Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Depending on where you read up on it though, some say its not worth it. When I had mine fitted at Phils, he said it wasnt really worth it, but while I had mad a big trip to get there, I may as well just do it Quote
Pimm Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 i mean the gasket under the lower plenum, didnt see why i had to take it off in the first place This one? while it was apart I fitted it does not take that much longer. Quote
drob Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 yeah thats the one, never did it today anyway it snowed ill just do it i think its not exactly open heart surgery to put it on Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 yeah thats the one, never did it today anyway it snowed ill just do it i think its not exactly open heart surgery to put it on If you have done the pleunum its just another 6 bolts to undo. IMO worthwhile if you undone the other 20 odd! Quote
