Hi,

these gaskets do go, but another common problem with the cisac is the baseplate distorts and is no longer flat. I have been told it's possible to grind them flat again, although I've never tried it - my own cisac has this problem and is currently sealed with silicone sealant - I don't know if this will last long in the hot/fuel vapour environment above the inlet manifold.

Replacement cisacs are still available from Volvo for around £650!!

(worse if you have the pierberg - these come in around £900).
