Looks so much better - you have to wonder why Ford didn't do this (cost, I guess).

Its amazing how much better it looks when you do this hey. I had mine done in 2 pack a month or two ago and it transforms the look under the bonnet.

They're fine to re-use as long as you sorta don't remove them from the rocker cover itself because they can stretch. I re-used mine. Standard AU did you reuse yours?

yeah i did, i got to the point where i'd taken it (the rocker cover) off and then read the gregory's manual and it says to get a new one, i'm like... it's sunday, i'll just re-use the old one.
yeah i just left it attached to the cover, no hassles at all. i actually made it harder and more time consuming for myself, i masked the lines but sanded the 4.0 Intech... silly i know but they both come up good. GlennAUII, i figure you've probably been asked this a million times, but any chance you could find me one of those belt covers???

On the subject of re-using gaskets. I took mine out to have mine powdercoated and re-used it. It does stretch a fair bit, but if you're careful and put it all back in properly and use a bit of gasket goo it works fine. Mine hasn't leaked a drop in months. Saves 50 odd dollars.
