:confused: Hi Folks right where do I start!

Downpipe from Manifold Gaskets need replacing (no problem there) would you advise to replace the Manifold gaskets at the same time!

Reason I'm asking is, would it be best to replace the Torx bolts (16) off and spacers (16) off just been quoted cost of £69.28 + vat just for these parts.

Don't want to be throwing money away unless I really need too!

Cheers

The manifold to head bolts are discarded and replaced when you remove them, they are treated with sealant/locking compound.

The spacers are re-usable, the tin gaskets to the head always have to be renewed if you remove the manifold.

the bolts are reusable with no problems use a small amount of thread lock compound on the bolts but they usualy break or strip the thread out so undo with a warm engine
