Oil Sump Gasket - Any info appreciated!

Post by RobF300 »

Hey again,
Im doin the sump gasket soon enough, just found out no gasket exists and you have to use goo...

anyways check out the pic, i would like to know what the 2 seals on either end are all about, and whether they need replacing or if you can get them...

Let me know if you know anything bout this one would be a big help

Cheers again

Rob

Couldn't you just buy a roll of gasket paper and draw a stencil on it and cut it out? I had to do that for a water pump gasket recently on a different car.

rob, you can use the type of gasket that comes in a tube. says to leave a 1/8" bead all the way around the oil pan and then you put it on. ive done this and no dramas so far. the end pieces that your talking about are made of some compound that you can reuse as long as they are not cracked and are in decent shape. if they're not, then you gotta replace em because then once you fix the gasket, it'll jus leak out of the next weak spot.

recently had my sump off to weld a turbo return on. i used Loctite Ultra Grey silastic for the gasket and have not had a leak.

Anyone know what you would call these "end pieces"? i asked the bloke at rares today he had no idea... I suspect that may be the source of my leak...

they are rubber/neoprene end gaskets (front and rear sump seal), i reused mine with some Ultra Grey smeared on them.
none of the programs i have at work show them, must be a genuine part only.
