Gaskets

Post by Griffin71 »

Gaskets/Sealant if anyone can give advice, what is the best sealant to use when reassembling the seagull engine :?:
I have a 1972 40 plus I have got some RTV silicone sealant, I have managed to salvage the copper gasket from the cylinder I also have gasket paper to make my own, any experience/advice would be good. :lol:

RTV silicone sealant
That will work just fine!

I suspect your lack of response is due to the fact that this question has been asked & answered many times before, have a search back in time.

Seagull used 10 thou gasket paper, anneal the head gasket, RTV one side only on paper gaskets & no RTV snots into water jacket.
