Hi, I'm changing out the above items on Friday and would like to know what gaskets etc I will need to renew as well along the way. I have the rocker cover gasket but what else will be required please.
Thanks
Inlet fanifold, injectors and rocker cover .

Probably the inlet manifold gasket too
Might as well change the rocker cover breather pipe too. It's only about 15 quid and is usually blocked up with immulsified oil and crap. It runs from the rocker to the throttle body if memor serves correctly

I would also look to overhaul the TB, couple of gaskets and a new rubber bung.

Change the rubber seals on the metal pipe that fits between the block and underside of the manifold. ( this can be a pig of a job, and getting the pipe in or out is NOT possible with the manifold in place.
On reassembly you need to compress the spring right down and use cable ties to keep the spring compressed, fit the manifold, then cut the cable ties and the pipe will pop back up into place.
