Gasket Questions

[TeamRealtreeHD]

Just wondering what gaskets need replacing. I know the head gaskets below the cylinder will need replacing...

 

I know the Wiseco kit will come with everything I need in the piston department and cylinder separtment for gaskets.

 

But my question is this... the o-ring gasket/seal that goes with the Noss Cool Head, or any cool head for that matter... will that need to be replaced? The black rubber one...

 

What other gaskets did I not mention that may need to be replaced?

 

There are gaskets (2), one for each intake port between the reeds that are gaskets. Not sure if I should replace those, but they look ok. Cleaned up nicely... just not sure if they are recommended to be replaced.

 

Thanks guys

I reuse my O rings all the time. Just look at them to make sure there isnt any pinced or chewed up ones. I try to keep a bran new oring set on hand though.

 

I usually dont by a gasket kit because all you really need is the 2 base gaskets that go under the cylinders, clutch cover gasket, and reed/ intake gaskets.

I know I will have the cylinder gaskets underneath the cylinders replaced as they will come with the piston kit Kevin Herr is sending back with my jugs.

 

But will the reed/intake gaskets come with that Wiseco kit, or will I have to buy them separately? Those are the gaskets I was thinking needed replacing, but even though they didn't look like it, they just should. Just not sure if they will be supplied... this is my first rebuild on this 'shee.
