I am getting ready to replace gaskets to stop some oil leaks and i was wondering when i order Valve cover gaskets do i need to also order Valve Cover Grommets? Or reuse the old ones? They add about $15 to the cost thus why i am wondering,


So far on the list to order via Rockauto is.

1: Upper & Lower intake gaskets
2: Valve cover gaskets
3: Oil filter adapter gasket

and while at it plugs and wires with the intake off the back will be easier to access. Am i missing anything? Thinking Valve seals also as sometimes on a cold start i see some smoke..

 

Assuming you've confirmed that the VC gaskets are leaking, then definitely also install new grommets (I didn't know anyone sold the gaskets without the grommets). They get just as hard and brittle as the gaskets, and it would be really shortsighted with everything already apart not to also do this very easy part of the job as well.
Are the intakes leaking, or are you removing them just because you think they need to come off to get access to the back VC? If so they may not need to come off, depending on the year of your van.

 

The valley gasket is leaking so that is why intake also....
