Yes. Check the Rubber Coating for scratched or damaged locations. If the coating looks intact simply reassemble. If the coating is damaged in small locations, just clean with light solvent and apply silicone RTV to the damage areas, let cure and reassemble engine. Replace the gasket if badly damaged. Check the combustion o-ring groove in the gasket and look for clean, sharp edges. If the gasket looks good, then replace in the exact location from where it was removed. If the grooves are rounded, beat down or show signs of combustion leakage, replace the gasket. If there are any additional questions call our TECH LINE toll free 877-837-9200 or Contact Us.
