Just thought I'd share a couple of pics i took of my camgasket change.
I knew that they were leaking on the outside because of the smoke pouring off the exhaust manifolds but as for the gasket to the spark plug-well side you can't really tell without puling HT leads which is a bit tricky on the passenger side.
Have a look at these and ask yourself "do i really need to change those gaskets?!"

Now for the passengers side...

Have you seen worse with Plugs being totally non vsual?
And it still runs (no Miss)?

When mine went on the old 2.5 beast on the drivers side bank you could only see the little metal tops of the sparkplugs on 2 of them ... the third one was quite low .. only halfway up the insulator !!
Engine would not start, but had never miss-fired prior to this, it was the folks on here who pointd me at the cam-cover problem.
A clean up of the HT leads using carb cleaner and a cloth and it all still worked fine , once the cam covers and breathers were done .. :)

Seen a few where you can't see the plugs, but one needed new leads...
