Hey i was just wondering what sort of sealent people use when putting the alloy cups around the sparkplugs and other gaskets on the motor as i am having trouble sealing the sparkplug cups. I've used a black silicon sealant which was a waste of time and i've now tried aviation for-a-gasket No. 3 goo no hardening.

 

Just wondering if there is something on the market that the toyota factory used it was a grey colour

 

 

Cheers nathan thanks in advance

You need the sparkplug tube O-rings. Ask at a parts store for them.

Yeah i got those but they still seam to leak passed them i think i need to use a different sealant

No, you just require the correct technology.

 

Because the Tubes have had 30 years of Gorillas tightening them, you might find the top flange (the bit the o-ring sits under) requires a bit of tap-o-metric attention. Dress it back down to a bit over right-angles again and it will improve sealing. Giving the plug end a bit of a straighten up is also handy, too.

 

Also have a look at the wiki: http://www.rollaclub.com/faq/index.php?tit...eries/Oil-Leaks

 

I tend not to use sealant though.

 

Cheers

high temp red

or blue rtv

 

it may be solvable as red says, but its so much easier to jus goo them up

i used blue, but these days i use the red for everythin

basically the same shit only high temp red has a higher temperature bearing

:)

I use ford laser radiator hose :) KA I think

i use threebond which is the toyota sealant. works great but at $30 a tube not cheap, but does go along way
