bigbadspoon Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I was browsing Autozone.com to find a repair guide for my messed up EGR and I noticed that it says you need a new gasket after taking off what's on there. I'm still pretty new to all of this, so I would appreciate if someone could tell me why I can't re-use the old gasket even if it is a little bit aged. (I know they're cheap, I just don't want to go out and buy one unless i absolutely must. It's the principal of it, I guess.) Thanks a bunch! Oh, also...Does anyone know where I could get a decent torque wrench (about 5-75 pounds worth is all i need) without spending a whole ton of money?

Slade901 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I have re-used EGR gaskets as long as they are not torn. Check HarborFreight.com and they usually have local stores. Check their site to find local harborfreight in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
