bassmaster345 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Posted April 25, 2009 Man I can't win. Started putting my motor together today, got too the cylinders and put the right side on then went to put the base gasket on the left side and low and behold it was another right side base gasket . So I pulled the right side back off too make sure I put the right gasket on and I did. So now I have too wait even longer too get my shit going again! I purchased the complete K&S gasket kit off ebay so hopefully the person I bought it from makes it right. Quote
Rodneya Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 The base gaskets are just paper gaskets. Flip it over and it will fit Quote
dajogejr Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Unless they have some kind of raised rubber sealing lip on the gaskets, I agree, flip it over. Quote
bassmaster345 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Posted April 26, 2009 They have the sealant on one side, would it hurt to flip it over and put some sealant on the top side? If so is yamabond 4 allright to use? Quote
dajogejr Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Don't use Yamabond. use a thin coat of RTV on both sides of both gaskets... That's all I use. Quote
bassmaster345 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Posted April 26, 2009 Cool, thanks for the info. Quote
okbeast Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Spray copper-coat gasket stuff works good too, gets an even coat and what not. Quote
scotts96fast Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 I never used any sealant on mine.If I remember correctly,I cut most of the sealant off to match the case porting.I have different stock jugs now (same cases)and the builder said to put a thin coat of yamabond on.everyone is different I guess.I'm ready to put my top end together and will be interested on reading what other people due!!!
