I'm looking at buying an engine that is said to have one fitted but doesnt have documentation. Apparently you can see the gasket and identify it as a 4 layer? Is this correct? Oh the engine is complete at the mo obviously!

chop

 

Take the head off and count the layers....

 

Fuck off

 

If you have documented proof from the seller just wait till you blow it up and nail em if it doesn't lol

 

Dumbass!

 

Its got 4 rings that stick out

 

 

hmmm blind i reckon! oops

If they can't say whats in it what else do you know about it?

 

 

Can anyone show me pics please?

Are these definitely reuseable aye? So they cant fail?

 

dont re use

 

Its a gasket that has crushed bits when you use it, the crushed bits make a seal and you can't re crush em....... reuse it ? no idea LOL but sounds dodgey

 

you're the WORST person to discuss with as it's one massive conspiracy to flog me a shitter! They DO say its 4 layer. I just want to check

CHeers DIngle for pic

 

there will be parts that stick out of the edges that you may/may not be able to see properly.

if fitted to perfectly flat head and block then it's the pretty much bomb proof

 

Sorry i thought there was a gasket you could reuse but my lack of clue is showing through

 

you can reuse them

 

if they say it get it in writing from them - job done?!

 

aaarrrrrggggh

Anyway that isnt important at the mo. Getting my shitter moving under its own steam IS! :

Marty
Might do


TBH this is a temporary stop gap to get me mobile. Re-sell this engine in winter and spend the lot on my own

 

Depends, If it's the genuine WRC mulit layered gasket then it should be reuseable, but maybe it's just a cheap copy? What kind of engine is it that it would require one anyway??? And are you going to rip the head off it???? Is your engine buggered then??? Mine's in bits at the moment.

 

When you get the engine remove the ex manifold then get a junior hacksaw and where the gasket is rivited together cut this little piece off then drill the rivit and count the layers
Easy
