I need to buy the gasket between the heads and the intake manifold. And the gasket between the VIAS, where you place the NWP block off plate gasket, i need to know what they are called? Because I'm looking for them online. I have a 2002

 

Year of car

I assume 2000, re: your SN.
Or, since you're asking for BOP related items



Courtesy has their own way of calling these things, but that's it.

14033+A.

BUT, it's a metal gasket and, IMO< shouldn't need to be replaced if all you're doing is adding a BOP. Jesus people, would it kill anyone to be semi descriptive as to why and what they're doing?

 

2002

 

And are you doing what do you need and why do you think you need it?

 

I'm in the process of cleaning the Intake manifold and then adding the BOP.
should i change it or not?

 

I wouldn't.

And if you do, it's such a small part, you'd be better off going to your local dealer and getting it.


Have you read the instructions?

 

I read the instructions but I was just thinking of getting new ones for the sake of getting new ones vs old. I guess I'm going to keep the old ones because Nissan dealership is 68 bucks for one gasket. I prefer to use that for the thermal spacers.

 

You can get a felpro gasket kit that comes with all the intake manifold gaskets even though you're confusing me because you stated you need a gasket for the heads???

 

Jesus ....
wat?

If you're adding spacers, you don't need another gasket, that's what they are, thermal gaskets and that's what the RTV is for.

 

Before NmexMAX glows a gasket (nice pun), I think Killer here means he'd prefer to use *the money* for the thermal spacers.

But yeah, when someone says they've read the instructions, then explain things seemingly contrary to said instructions...

 

Oh ... ya. haha ... that makes sense.

I've removed my IM about ... 6 times before my spacers and never once changed the gasket.
