I'm getting ready to adjust my valves and was wondering if the valve cover gasket is reusable since it has all the wires and crap thanks in it for the injectors.

 

yes it is reusable

 

The valve cover gasket is a single piece, and as noted reusable...the rocker box gasket has all the wires your referring to...you should not need to disassemble the rocker box unless its leaking.

 

Ok so I can take it all off as one peice and the gasket is reusable, thanks for the info !!

 

Why are you adjusting the valves? Already have a 100k on that truck! WOW!!

 

Yup, just got 100k miles so I figured better do it to stay on top of the maintenance so it last several 100 thousand more !!

 

pretty easy to do IF you know how! That's alot of miles! What have you done to it? 2 micron filter?

 

So do my valves need adjusted on my 2005 cummins? It keeps makin this knock time sound at random times puffs a little smoke and then it purrs like a kitten and i cant figure it out. It doesn do it goin down the highway and it doesn do it all the time. I put power service injector cleaner in it the other day and it boost the cetain levels and its been really hot didn think about that . Could that be my problem?

 

i have 163*** miles on my 06 do i need to adjust them they have never been touched ??

 

I would at least check them. You're a little over due.
