Sub78 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 So I am rebuilding the ol' Hitachi and the top half looks great. Figured I'd pull the bottom portion to replace the gaskets because that is where I am positive a leak was coming from and after pulling it apart found that the thicker gasket that is wedged between the two smaller gaskets for the base has a crack in it. Anyone know if it is possible to get a replacement "thick" gasket for the base of these? My rebuild kit did not come with a new one only the two thin bottom portion gaskets. Uploaded with ImageShack.us The Break Uploaded with ImageShack.us The thickness. Two thin gaskets go on each side of this larger one. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Macgyvering very encouraged as I would like to get her up and running asap.

naru Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 That is a heat insulator,not a gasket. You need to visit a dealer or get a used one. Subaru 42206 7000 is an 84 one.Likely the same. You could probably run w/o it in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub78 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks for the correct terminology. Very good to know. Tried using some high temp gas resistant sealer but alas she is still leaking after putting her back together and running. Looks like I'll be trying to find a new one. Anyone out there have one just laying around? Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
