    Default VR Inlet Gasket

    Hi Guys.

    I am going to have a go at the inlet gasket on the VR.
    Got the gaskets and Rubber gasket front and back ordered & torque wrench. Also the 2 plastic heater hose connectors on the cover as holden told me they brake most the time.

    Besides that is there any tricked i should know about? looks pretty straight forward, when i clean the inlet cover, do i have to remove the injectors if i want to clean it? and if o do i need to replace the o rings on the injectors. Any tips would be great

    I did mine on my vs the other week not sure about the vr though, shouldn't be to much different, The fuel rail and injectors i left on the inlet manifold cover as i took it off and just cleaned off all traces of old sealant and cleaned up with some throttle body cleaner, its up to you if you want to do injectors.
