Question for you guys that have done the pully swap, can we reuse the gasket between the supercharger and the intake manifold? my car has 7753 miles on it, and i would assume that the gasket is still in good shape..... someone let me know before next weekend, as i am going to do the pully swap next weekend...... Thanks

 

You should never reuse a gasket. Get a new one!

 

I do not know what the gasket looks like, but being a Chevy tech I can say, if it is a metal or plastic frame with a silicone sealing surface(silicone impregnated) type of gasket, then ,YES, you can reuse them.

 

Many members here have reused the gasket with no probs that I know of... Ive had mine off twice...

 

ditto, I agree with exhondaman.

 

yes it is a re-useable gasket

 

I am pretty sure you can reuse the metal gasket without any ill affects. I reused mine. The sealer that is used between the gasket and blower outlet probably should be replaced especaily if it tears when you remove it.

Personally I took the blower on and off and didn't buy a new gasket or replace the bead of sealant and everything seems fine with mine.

 

What type of sealant did you use to reapply the bead?

 

I didn't replace the bead of sealant. I just checked the manual and it says only replace the gasket if it appears damaged. I think the bead of sealant is actually part of the gasket and not applied afterwards. Manual makes no mention of what the sealant is so I assumes it's part of the gasket.
