So in my haste reinstalling the supercharger, I didn't reattach the rear bracket that goes onto the back of the supercharger.
To say it's a pain to work back there is an understatement. I was determined to do it without taking off the super charger again, but this idea has run it's course.

So my question to the hivemind. Is it safe to reuse the new intake gaskets that I installed and torqued down already?
I was hoping to button everything up today and really don't want to have to wait for replacement parts to arrive.

 

Well its a moot point anyways, I have to take out the supercharger yet again.
After rebuilding the entire cooling system, there is still a leak. At the very back of the engine.
It appears to be coming from a temp sensor in the new rear cross over pipe. Or so I hope...

 

Grrrrr.................

 

Original plastic or alloy rear header pipe?

Very unlucky if it is.

In answer to you first question, NO the gaskets are crush type, one use only. Which did not stop JLR from reusing them and applying RVT sealant all over.
As I found out on removal of the supercharger..

 

We have been told the large SC top lid gasket can be reused. All others replace.
