Cokekid Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 When I bought the gasket set there many different gaskets in the set. I have identified the majority of them but need help for these ones. Here is a photo of the ones in question. The top piece is made of cork and is 8 x3/4 x1/2. I cannot find it listed any were in the Catalog page #83 The parts list shows 1 #6700 Packing Front Cover 1 #6700 Oil Pan I understand that the bottom two pieces are for the above .

Cokekid Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 No need to answer my post. I found out what I was looking for. Many moons ago I downloaded a Transcribed file by Shirley Hopkins file "The HV=12 Rebuilding Bible" By Jake Fleming . On Page #9 first paragraph it says "Install the cork seal on the rear main bearing cap" While seeing everything on the bottom is already put together I would take it that this gasket is already been installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cokekid Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 While reading further into the bible. Jake mentions to apply sealer only on the pan. I was wondering were would I apply the sealer for the rest of the Gaskets. Example= Heads, Pumps, & all Manifolds.? Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 You do not need any sealer on most gaskets, the gasket should do the sealing. You should not use any coating on intake and exhaust gaskets. Head gaskets should be installed according to the gasket manufacturers instructions. Some require additional coating in order to seal properly. Jake said to use a sealer on the pan because it is useful to hold the gasket in place while installing it. I do the same for the water pumps, sealer on the pump only in order to hold the gasket in place during installation. The sealer that I use for the water pumps and pan gasket is HiTack.

Cokekid Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 19tom40 I was watching a few video's and and as you stated they used some sealer on the intake manifolds. I guess it was just for holding it in place. I will do as you did for the pumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
