What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.

well your mate's step dad is right... a gasket is really designed to be used once, usually when you rip the car apart you break or damage teh gasket anyway

but it also depends on what gasket and what the gasket is made of.....if its a paper type then replace but it its a rubber type like the rocker covers then you could use the old one providing that it has not dried up over the years.


what work are you doing on your car?
