Marck Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Should I put anything on the head gasket O-Ring? Like anerobic sealer or coat it with motor oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishy75 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 nope put her in dry, and make sure you clean all the sealing surfaces well to get rid of any oil and other residues.

Marck Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Just to confirm, we are talking about the rubber O-RING that goes in the head gasket and not the head gasket itself. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishy75 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Now you've lost me... Are you talking about the cam cover o-ring - being the very last cover over the cams, and far from the head gasket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 no sealants needed for anything involving the head gasket, including the oil passage oring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishy75 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 ditto I was just trying to unnderstand where he was talking about, since the oil passage o-ring is on the cam tower (which does need sealant) and not the head gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 there is one in the head gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marck Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 ya, I don't mean the cam housing o-ring. I was talking about the one that is built into the head gasket. Thanks for the replies. I find it odd that we leave it dry. I have always coated o-rings in oil or use some sort of sealant. I know to put anaerobic sealant on the o-ring that goes between the cam case and the head.
