[VT-VX] VS - VY Series 2 Inlet Manifold Gasket Replacement 6hr+ (Includes Pics)

Is it worth replacing the thermostat even though mine doesn't appear to be defective? I know I still need to remove it and to replace the gasket.

It's so cheap that you might as well for piece of mind.

Yeah, $24 doesn't seem bad at all, I was thinking the same thing... saves doing it in another 50,000kms or whatever it takes

I actually followed this tutorial and replaced those gaskets , helped so much rather big job but was worth it no oil leaks what so ever now !

ps ( be aware that diffrent series eco tec motors had diffrent valley cover gaskets)

Just curious as to any tell tale signs that your LIM gasket is gone. I cant see any visible leaks from the outside but the engine seems low on power and wondering if there's a vacuum leek. Clutch is gone which i think is just making me paranoid but would like to know anyway

This engine is super clean inside and out. Nice write up.

great job on the write up mate. did you get the alum gasket set from mace engineering or somewhere else in aus?
I have found it on an online parts place called zz engineering for $90 delivered but i was wondering if your stated price included the cost of the RTV you used there.
cheers

just wondering where you got the alum gasket set from and how much?

You Can Get them from here - Inlet Manifold Gaskets - Mace Engineering Group

G'day everyone. Yeah got the Gaskets from Mace. Engines clean because I do the Oil Service regularly by myself with decent oil. Also Low KMs.

Hi, im wonderingwhether i should do this or not. i have a VY series 2 2004, 100,000 km, it has been maintained well and doesnt appear to be leaking however im doing all the hoses and therefore coolant which costs a bit, so im wondering should i be doing this manifold set as well, even though its not leaking? do they all eventually fail or is it lack of maintenance and or earlier models?
thanks
