cam plug replacement

[mikesayboom]

Hey guys I did the whole vc, spark plug, sp guides etc last summer. But dummy me didn't do the cam plugs. so now i still have a very very small oil leak but its driving me crazy seeing oil down below when every time i change the oil.

Im going to do the job this weekend but have been searching and can't find an answer to my question. Will i need to replace the VC gaskets or will they be reusable?

No more then what they cost I would replace them.

I would reuse but that's just my two cents.

Make sure you reapply the FIPG to the appropriate areas again.

That sucks man, I feel for ya. When I did mine, I nearly got everything put back together (only thing I had left to do was attach throttle body) and found two bolts under my work bench. I immediately realized they for the half moons. So had to rip it all apart again. Moral of my story was to 1) keep an eye on the toddler that was "helping" daddy in the garage, and 2) lay off the adult beverages until all the details of the VC were thoroughly addressed :redbrick::beer:
