Gaskets Needed.....?

[Wess]

I'm currently pricing out parts for my cam weld. If I want to replace the gaskets affected by this job, I know I will need a set of valve cover gaskets. Where I'm confused is on the Intake manifold. I'm told (by my local SHO guy) I need a set of "runner gaskets." Are these the same as intake manifold gaskets? When I search Ford Parts Network I don't find anything regarding runner gaskets. Are these two terms that mean the same thing? Please help a confused SHO owner!

Here is a pic of all the parts. You do not need new gaskets. Just use some engine paint immediately before reinstalling them.

you don't even really need new valve cover gaskets if the one's you have now aren't leaking. you will need some silicone sealant though.

SHOZ123 is right. You probably wont need any gaskets. If you wanted to change them all anyhow, these are the numbers and quantities (As given to me by my friendly Ford parts guy) for any gaskets you might want:

Gaskets:
Intake runner to lower intake F6DZ9439A (2)
Intake runner to surge tank F6DZ9H486A (2)
Valve cover gasket F6DZ6584BA (1)
Valve cover gasket F6DZ6584CA (1)
Coil "O" Rings F6DZ6F048AA (8)
Small center "O" Ring F6DZ6F048BA (2)

The intake runner to surge tank gaskets sandwich two "Velocity stack" type inserts that go INSIDE the surge tank. The Intake runner to lower intake gaskets go between the runner pipes and the lower section of the intake manifold which routes the air to each cylinder.

Hope this helps.
Regards

The valve covers and plug well seals are made to be reuseable. The upper and lower IRM gaskets 9439 a anb b should be replaced. The are a metal crush type of gasket. While some say not to change I always do and on every customers car they get new gaskets. Heat and uneven torqueing will warp the runners. Been there seen it got stuck with it, the gaskets are under 100 and its 100 well spent if you keep up with maintience.
