Vy intake manifold gasket kit

[luckyvt94]

I'm replacing the intake manifold gasket on my vy over easter.
just wondering if anyone knows if Holden, repco or the like sell a kit with all the gaskets,, O-rings and whatever else ill need to do the job.

thanks in advance

Yes, check out any Repco, Autobahn etc.

get the supercharged ones, alloy type, not the plastic ones. Other than some gasket goo for the corners and a razor blade to clean up surfaces, tools etc, do a search on here will give plenty of info to.

Ok thanks I'll have a look around

Use these and you'll never need to change intake manifold gaskets again

You'll need heater pipe to intake manifold o ring and the o ring to the adapter too.

I've done heaps of these and find that rubber grease in your best friend when it comes to lubing seals and o-rings, especially the heater pipe o-rings which are notorious for curling up on the fittings and causing a leak.

Apart from that, it's an easy job, just lots of nuts and bolts (make sure you keep an order).

i would get the alloy ones but i wont have them in time so i'll just use what i can buy.
also if the pic works. can anyone tell me if this is the hose i need to get the o-ring for?
