Gasket Identification

[Twinky]

Hi guys,

 

I have decided to re-seal the engine as it looks like it is leaking a tad from either the fuel pump, dizzy or sump. So I piked up a full gasket kit from sprints but there seems to be a few odd bits I have never seen before.

So what I would like to ask is what are they for? So I have just numbered the pics, If you could please Identify the gaskets and odd bits that would be very helpfull. It could also be helpfull to other people looking to do the same thing.

I have a K series engine repair manual (Genuine Toyota repair manual, includes 2k, 3k-b, 3k-c, 3k-h, 4k-c & 4k-j) but the gaskets seem very vague. Obviously I am not going to show the head, sump and rocker cover gasket because they are the easiest to identify.

 

 

 

1. Some sort of odd ring. looks like a long peice of metal strip that has been spiraled with rubber sandwitched inbetween. ( can't see it in this photo because of poor quality)

 

 

2. No idea

 

 

3. Exhast pipe gasket it seems

 

 

4. Water outlet gasket??

 

 

5. 4 rubber rings... nfi....

 

 

6. rubber grommets with a metal top, x2. nfi..

 

 

7. Head rear plate???

 

 

8. and finally some wierd grommets with metal surrounds.. nfi...

 

 

OOooo just noticed the gasket set has written on it, Valve regrind kit..

 

Cheers guys

1, flange gaskets for twin outlet (KE30/55) style exhaust manifold.

 

2, "Hot-box" gasket - Where the inlet and exhaust manifolds bolt together. Be carefull here, if it doesn't need changing then don't do it. The bolt that hold them together have a 95+% of snapping when you remove them. If you do want to remove them then heat the ex mani with an oxy torch loosen and wind out like 1 turn, then repeat with the oxy.

 

3, Top thermostat gasket. For the bit you remove to change the thermostat.

 

4, Lower thermostat housing to head gasket.

 

5, As mentioned, the rubber ring that go around the top of the spark plug tube. If your engine is leaking on this side of the motor these would be the main culprit.

 

6, As mentioned, seal for the bolts that hold the tappet cover down.

 

7, Depending on what your motor has there will be a water outlet (to heater core), or just a blank plate on the back of the head. This gasket is for both of these plate, outlet or not.

 

8, As mentioned, valve stem seals. You might want to get a mechanic to change these for you if you don't want to take the head off the block.
