supercharger/pulley install help - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys, so my 2012 ZL1 with 10000kms on it is going in for the S/C bulletin and getting a new one put on. Thing is I just got my 2.85" pulley and solid isolator in and now I have to wait until they put my new SC on. My question is if I remove all the bolts raise the SC off the block do I need new gaskets? Or can I remove all the bolts with enough room to access all the snout bolts and just torque them back down with the same gaskets, I plan on doing is soon after the new SC is installed. Also is there fluid in the nose cone that may spill out when I remove the snout? Will the new SC have a solid isolator ? If so should I replace it with the one I ordered ? Thanks for your help guys!!

I would like to know about the gaskets myself because I see a lot of threads and a SLP procedure that just says lift front of the SC up 1" to 1.5" to remove the snout bolts. But I did read one article where it said to pull the SC and check the gaskets and replace as needed.

Make sure to torque the SC and lid to correct torque specs and sequence. The snout has no fluid in it and the new SC will have the solid coupler.

I'll say no. The intake gaskets on the ls engines are nothing like the old felt ones from gen 1. They are thick plastic and o-ringed. Looked to me like you could use them over and over again with no issues.
