In the 3's BABY!
No that gasket is reusable. Its rubber, just be careful when you take it off and when putting it back on that its placed correctly.
I think whomever messed with it last just left that bolt out and didn't bother to tell ya. Loctite is not needed.

they probably stripped the screw out. The dealer I took mine too ONCE did the same thing. I had to use helicoils and thread it back in. The cam cover that those bolt into is part of the head and cant be bought seperatley so you need to find a way to make it work. You can get a new bolt from Polaris.

Good info- I ordered the bolt and gromet today- when I get time Im gonna check to see if it is stripped and if so repair the thread- still wondering what exactly happened, did the bolt somehow come out, did it break off, or did someone "forget" to replace it....not sure that someone forgot to replace it since I didnt have any oil leak problems the rides before last....Originally posted by katch26

its next to impossible for it to fall out....they either forgot it or damaged it and forgot to tell him

Just checked and that is exactly what has happened- they stripped the cam support- guess im gonna have to helicoil it- did you run into any problems when you used helicoils- any problems after?Originally posted by katch26

Heli-coil will work just fine. There isn't much stress on the valve cover bolts. Put the coil in with your new bolt and grommet and you should be good to go.
