Gaskets

[REDWOLF]

How hard is it to get gaskets for 6.2 . I need to replace my injector pump so, i need intake gaskets, water pump, cross over, and so on?

It's not hard at all. Any auto parts store can get what you need. Just tell them you have a blazer with a "J" series diesel. And your year model. You won't however have to remove the water pump or crossover to replace the IP. You can acess the drive gear bolts through the oil filler hole in the front. You will have to rotate the engine by hand to get to all three bolts.

Napa - Manifold Gasket Set FPG MS91585 - $14.99

Others have the same FelPro set for a little less.

The removal and installation is covered in the -34 manual.

Intake manfold is in chapter 3-4
Injector pump is in 3-37

Where do you get one of those -34 manuals ?

Where do you get one of those -34 manuals ?

You can find the manual multiple ways.

One way is to download them from the Resources Tab at the top of the page. Click on the Technical Manuals button. That will take you to the old site and all the Tech Manuals. Scroll the pages for the TM 9-2320-289-34 manual.

Another is to read this post:

I will help you out and give you the 10 tour.

Start by reading the CUCV Wiki page. It covers many of the everyday questions. On that page are links to all the manuals for the CUCV.

The gaskets do not matter J code or C code. The only difference is a hole in the intake gasket for the C code emission junk. But the J code intake manifold does not have the hole for emission. So the hole in the gasket is covered by the manifold and does not matter at all. The head gaskets are not cheap they will bite your wallet.

Thanks all this will be a big help once i get the weather to cooperate.

If the intake gaskets look good, is it ok to reuse them? It is stuck to the head and looks ok. Bad idea?

2deuce, I recommend against reusing intake gaskets. They are cheap. You may never have a problem, but if you have a leak, you will probably not know it. Dust could be sucked in, leading to premature engine wear.

Just my $.02.

Please - never reuse gaskets.... they're cheap to buy new & replace.

And the CUCV is basically an OD Chevy/GMC pickup - nothing special about the 6.2 gaskets.

I think that would be the only concern with the intake gasket, is it wouldn't seal as good, but if it didn't it wouldn't get much unfiltered air under it. It isn't the cost of the gaskets it was waiting for the delivery. I should have ordered it all before I started. I have cleaned off the old ones, but I was tempted.
