St0nkingByte Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Have you guys been replacing the valve cover gaskets when you do the 6k service on your hexhead? Link to comment
Ken H. Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 No. That gasket is designed for many, many removal and reuse cycles. As a matter of fact, unless damaged, many never replace them. Just clean it and the surfaces well and you're good to go! Link to comment
steve.foote Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 +1 what Ken said. If you take good care of them, they will last the life of the bike. Link to comment
St0nkingByte Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Excellent! Thanks. I'm just coming up on 6k and will probably be doing it this weekend. Link to comment
CTRBLNCD1 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 +1 to everyone, however I do change the "donut" as I call it or more specifically, the spark plug channel gasket, or as I call it again I guess, hehe Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Having never changed one...I'd ask the same ? Link to comment
