Hi guys,
I measured up the hollow dowel and obtained a 5/16" O ring. However, this size O ring only has a cross section of 1/16" and quite frankly it doesn't look right. I've attached 3 photo's. The first shows the block deck with witness marks shown around the dowel and it looks like the original sealing ring was wider. 2nd pic shows O ring fitted and headgasket with large gap between the two and the 3rd pic shows the head shortly after it was removed from the engine and the head gasket removed. Note that this pic shows a washer type sealing ring. I did put the sealing washer some where safe but can't now find it
. The workshop engine manual calls it a "O" ring but I'm wondering if "O" ring and (copper) washer means the same thing?
Any further thoughts please? I don't really want to put it together to have it leak!!
Also how do I attach photos please, I've linked them is this the right thing to do?
Thanks, James NZ
