Engine Foam Seal

Hi Guys,


Can someone run out to their van and have a quick look at which side of the engine seal is internal. My new foam seal from JK has a kind of moulded black cover on one side of the H over the foam and just the foam on the other. I cant check after mine was removed after the fire.


Much appreciated, cheers

the flat side goes up the curved down.....presuming yours is like the new one i got.

 

there are different sorts tho...the foam is in the engine part (top)

 

cheers Rick, guess thatd the moulded side down then. just normal foam inside.

cheers

 

yeah foam up soz for confusion, i have an early seal on mine - no foam on that just flat on top and rounded on the bottom...solid rubber - no foam.....i'm waffling.....
but lates should be foam up

 

the molded bit goes at the bottom to stop it soaking up oil and water from the underside

 

Yep checked mine and definitely has the foam in the engine bay.

 

Cheers guys, all sorted.

 

Stu,

You have probably replaced the engine foam loads of times? But if not..... make sure the ends of the foam are well secure at the back of the engine as the fan can suck them in.
It's happened to me before, I could just get my hand in to pull it out before any overheating problems started.

 

I have the join in mine at the top near the bulkhead.

 

Shiny side down.
