Re-use timing cover sleeves?
First off, Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there.
Second off, can I reuse the two metal coolant sleeves from my fubar'd timing cover on a new replacement timing cover? Or is that just inviting problems? Thanks.

If they're still in good condition then why not?

I think all the timing cover gaskets sets come with the new rubber seals to replace the ones on your tubes.Tom

Yes, I realize that, but I am asking about the metal tubes themselves.

I usually wire wheel them and if still intact back into service.

Well, it's a moot point for me now, because one survived extraction and one did not. Ha!

Speaking of sleeves. GM # 9796347. They come 2 in a box. List price is $19.94 Is that for 1 sleeve or 2 ?
