TiZiK Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Finally getting around to finishing the assembly of my 1316cc big bore. I have dry blocked it and had the cylinders oringed. When doing final assembly, should I be using a gasket sealant? The install sheet from cometic says to use some, but I'm thinking that since its dry blocked and oringed, I may not need it. Just wanted to confirm and see what others have done. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yes use sealant - Gaskacinch is what i'd use - its like thinned out, non adhesive Evo-Stick and it works! 1 Quote Link to comment

homer Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 VHT copper gasket worked for me Quote Link to comment
Markz9 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 i Have used the spray on VHT gasket but its a bit messy i think the gaskacinch is a lot better to use Quote Link to comment
Screwriverracing Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Gaskacinch and a bit of yambond round the oil way studs, there are other makes of bond around. a top tuning shop used black silicon round the oil way studs, worked a treat, But only use a thin smeared Cheers SRR Quote Link to comment
