Type 4 Barrel Base Gaskets

  1. Doing a top end and new rings rebuild at the moment, got a full engine gasket set and has anyone changed their barrel gaskets, the old ones look like they are gonna be arkward to get out, any hints or tips before i have a go at it guys.
     
  2. I never bother with them... they're essentially just a very thin metal shim... not really got anything gasket like about them!!

    I usually just put some sealer round the base of the barrel... not had any issues doing that so far!! :cool:
     
  3. What sealer do you recommend
     
  4. curil T or loctite 5920
     
  5. Thanks Paul
     
  6. no problem dude :cool:
