ok so i need to buy a gasket set for a 1600 twin port, i actually only need the cylinder base gaskets but can only find sets, the thing is the picture of the set doesnt appear to have them in it. anyone recommend a supplier i can get the above mentioned from? thanks in advance bugfez
i never bother with them, just use a good quality sealer and you won't have any issues i use loctite 5920 (copper silicon) http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_173139_langId_-1_categoryId_255217
excellent thanks for that, i take it thats what most people do as the gaskest set doesnt show the cylinder base rings
type 4 engines don't have them either also the barrels should be a just slide fit into the case... so oil getting past them is a bad thing
Paul , not douting anyone that knows more than me but i`ve just rebuilt mine and my type 4 had them on and the new Elring set had them in so i fitted them, these are the barrel to case 0.1 thick alloy ones
