Thread: Replacing a valley seal?

When I replaced my composite gasket the plastic bits were shredded off on the upper side (outside) but the inside was fine.
I think I paid about $35 for the new composite gasket from Rick's. Plus extra for the rubber ends.

It took me a few days to do mine (as I buggered the timing up doing something else at the same time) and that is on a 3.9 injected engine. Would be much less than half a day now that I know what I'm doing.
This was the first time I'd ever worked on the engine (or any V8) and mine is still ok so I think you would be mad for paying $1000 for it.

For $1000 you could buy all the parts and the best quality tools to do the job with and still came away much better off.

Anither good reason I stopped sourceing my parts from them a few years ago

British4wd has always done good by me.

Tin gaskets are about $30.00
Rubber ends were $10 each, from memory.
Just need to add a little air freight.
Great guys to deal with too.
