Why are the runner gaskets (metal gaskets) for the 1994-1996 Q45's $22 and the ones for the 1990-1993's $80?!?!?
Can one re use those gaskets? I had a spare set that I sold to someone, it was a used set.

Same deal with the injector subharness... I wonder if the 90-93 style had a new production run of parts, and were re-priced based on the new cost?

Re: Intake Runners to cylinder block gaskets
I plan on pulling the plenum on my car this year just to do some cleaning and learn from it. I know I will hate it! But I am confused on whether the lower runner gaskets need to be replaced or not. A former NICO member DAEDAULS says no. But another current member says yes...So which is it?
Also does anyone have a complete under plenum list for a 1993 Q with TCS or should I make my own? I need to compare the hoses I have (from 200X) to the hoses I need to get.

Could more than likely just use that copper spray that's used for cometic head gaskets, I've never had a problem when using that copper spray, if it will work on a head gasket pretty good chance that it will work on the steel intake ones but I have yet to try it on them so I don't know for sure.
