New Gaskets Really worth it????

[red98gst]

Im thinking about replacing all my gaskets when i bolt on my 20g and was wondering if this is really worth it. any ideas??? the car has about 123,xxx miles on it

I would do it. Just to have the peace of mind that everything is fresh. they aren't that expensive.

when you say "all" which gaskets do you mean? If you're just talking exhaust... then yes... but if more, like intake manifold, head gasket, throttle body gasket.... that takes alot of time. It's always good to know you have good gaskets, but it isn't always necessary to replace them all.

If you're going to have the parts off you might as well replace the gaskets. Yeah you can get a way by reusing them, but not always. And if you do reuse them they might not last as long as a brand new gasket. If the gaskets are easy to get to you might decide to just reuse them because they could always last the entire lifespan of the car. If it's something you don't want to pull off again in the future to replace a gasket that's leaking then replace them while you have everything off so you won't have to do it again down the road.
