Re: Replacing the coolant crossover pipe
The metal grommets on the three gaskets are there to make sure you don't over-tighten the seal. the seal is designed to provide the correct amount of "squeeze" on the gasket's rubber to seal properly. What is important is to make sure the surfaces are smooth and clean.
