I am currently in the middle of putting back together everything out of my hughes engine plenum gasket kit and just put back on my water pump. Apparently I forgot the little metal and black gaskets that go on the back and front lip of the intake (parallel to each other)... I'm not sure how important they are but is there anything I can do besides take everything back off to ensure they wont leak?

Thanks in advance. I'll try not to throw any more tools while waiting.

 

Pull it back apart and put them in.

 

will the bolts be okay to re-torque?

 

They need to be on there or the intake will leak. Put some RTV on there too especially in the corners.

 

alright appreciate the help guys, back to work

 

Are they new bolts? Did you get them from a dealer or parts store?

 

you dont need new bolts there only tourqed to 12lbs
