Hi guys, when i converted me car to the turbo lump, i replaced the leaking sump gasket with a FAI one piece rubber item. However, once the car was all on the road, it leaked like a bastid, so replaced it again with another rubber FAI one on wednesday, and its still just as bad despite using sealer wen fitting it this time also. So, im gonna stop trying the crappy FAI ones(they seem too big to me) and was wondering what you guys have used. Im tempted to go genuine ford, but want to know which of the two types is the best to use, multi piece cork, or single piece rubber Also, would a uprated breather/oil seperator help it out a bit as well?
the cars currnetly standard bar exhaust and 57i.

cheers guys
Danny

 

Ford all the time, i had a leaky sump gasket, garage put in Motor Factor part which still leaked, then i bought a one piece rubber one from Ford and that solved all my problems

not the best oil leak to have i must say!

 

use a ford gasket mate.Ł11 from ford for a one piece gasket job sorted

 

ford gasket al the way, do not use gasket sealer as this will expand and split the gasket (speaking from experience,)
the gsaket needs to go on completely dry

 

thanks guys, best get over to Ford then

 

the only way I've ever managed to get the sump gaskets to seal properly was on engines that were sat on a bench on the top of the block rather than in the car, they are a compltete nightmare otherwise!
