OUTFXD Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 (edited) Doing a new oil pan gasket to try and fix the leak I created last time I did an oil pan gasket. Noticed a slim wirerope wrapped around the base of the crank pulley. I am guessing it is from my last V-belt failure. I am now worried about the integrity of the front main seal gasket. The local parts hause doesnt even have a listing. I tried looking online. Anyone have a Parts number I can search? Edited January 23 by OUTFXD Quote
kencombs Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 'slim wirerope' sounds suspiciously like the backup spring from the front seal. 1 Quote
9 foot box Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 The original seal number is 1188602. The only replacement that I have found is a SKF 21820 and a SKF 99218 speedi sleeve. The cover has to be removed and supported for removal and install, so the cover isn’t damaged or distorted. Some of the bolts for the cover go into the water jacket, they need thread sealant. I put an oil pan on using this method to keep the gaskets aligned. This is a dodgeb4ya technique that I found after taking a dent out of an oil pan. 1 Quote
Sniper Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 You know what also works good to hold a pan gasket in place? Thread, tie the gasket to the pan using sewing thread at each hole. These days though, I just use copper spray to glue it in place. Several ways to keep the gasket from moving around on you. 2 Quote
