Gaskets
Just did a cam install and everyone including my tuner think i didn't line up the dots correctly.. and this might be... It was really hard to see the dots with the oil pump on... so i will be reinstalling...
the car has maybe 30 miles on it since the install. can i reuse my waterpump and timing covergasket... I question the waterpump... but after seeing my old timing cover gasket i have a hard time believing i need a new one.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you will be alright with the timing cover gasket, but, I know MY luck, and if I didn't put a new one on, it will start to leak. Moral of the story for me is, why take a chance with all the work required?

or are you referring to the pick up tube?
