ROS MANIA You can, not like it hurts. But zero was used in this install and it didn't leak. Car was sold a few weeks later and the new owner had no complaints of leaks as well. I believe it's an extremely well-made gasket that can stand on its own!
Saab Ross Thank you for reply! Work shop manual does not mention RTV, so, I gues I wont use it either. As you say, looks like gasket is of good design. The forums also say that newer modells dont need RTV.. Thank you for the video! Gonna change my gasket this weekend.
@@dravenrosenbaugh2834 Not sure where this customer got the bolt gaskets, but I'd look here for the OEM gasket kit: www.esaabparts.com/saab/parts/90537687 A kit with the 14 bolt gaskets may come from FelPro or some other OE supplier.
So random tomorrow I'm doing this on my car and your video just showed up.. good job .. your video will join my list...

Could a valve cover gasket mix some coolant with your oil and cause a no start issue??
No. But a headgasket can...
@@saabross3171 damnn I know I was just really hoping it wasn't so. It doesn't smoke at all
Hi so what's the cost for a mechanic to replace a gasket valve I also have a leak. I have a 2005 Saab 9-3.
raiders209norcal Depends on the shop rate, this particular client paid for 1.5hr labor plus gasket. Typically comes out to $100, give or take.
Saab Ross ok thank you I was just wondering because I got some oil leaking out as well .
No need for RTV at all? Dont tell me I wasted money buying it now..
