well i bought my entire o ring/gasket kit for like 300. they are fucken ez to install. NEVER use old seals. think about it, u have the engine opened up, mite as well right? and plus, juss get hylomar, use a brush to brush the hylomar on the o-ring slots, and run ur finger around the seals till they are all in their slots. the outer ones a bit tricky but still ez. HAVE FUN! lazorssss pew pew pew

you DO realize changing them entails tearing down and rebuilding the whole engine, right?

just drive it till the motor blows...
if you have to ask that much questions, it really isnt worth trying to replace them...
and chances are, you dont know what you are doing and more problems will show up...

invest on an engine rebuild....
