I am going to be replacing my Glow plugs, and I am wondering if the valve cover gaskets are reusable?? And if not where is the best place to get the replacements??

Technically they are called reusable gaskets, but if you can afford them, go ahead and change 'em out.

ford tech told be the gaskets are reusable unless the built in harness for the injectors or glow plugs ( cant remember which one ) is bad or melted other than that they should be reuseable
