Dave Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 So I have to replace the bottom sump managed to get one off of josh . It's got the remains of sealant gasket on it can I get away with puting more gasket seal on top or would I need to remove the old seal first ,and could anyone recommend a good gasket sealant Anyone done this will the sump come off without lifting the engine?

Josh42 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hi Dave, Would recommend you use a gasket scraper/Stanley blade across the surface. I would also recommend Loctite 5910 as your gasket sealant. It's what both myself and Ibrar have used for sealing on the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I use the Loctite stuff or equivalent. But my reason for sticking my oar in here is to say *DO NOT* use too much new sealant. it'll ooze out inside the pan and can come away and start to choke the oil pump pick up filter gauze. I see this all the time on engines rebuilt by people. I sometimes see totally scrapped engines due to this, after an over enthusiastic use of the stuff. In fact one forum member posted photos of the underside of his newly bought single turbo (huge HP thing from Ireland). Had I seen the photos I'd have suggested not to buy it, sealant oozing out everywhere. The engine died of oil starvation shortly after he bought it. Oil pick up gauze blocked with sealant.... Engine scrap. Steel crank, rods, pistons, turbo, head, all scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 As above, a 5mm bead around the perimeter is more than enough. Bear in mind that both metal parts should fit tightly together anyway, so even a tiny line of sealant should be ample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
