Engine + Driveline / Re: metal or paper timing case gasket?

Thanks Colin, hadn't heard about yamabond or hondabond until just recently, if I have any issues with leaks, sounds like I'll look into replacing with one of those.

Further research is showing just one gasket, which suggests that the gasket kit just came with two different styles. I don't like the idea of a metal gasket, so I'm planning on going with the paper + gasket sealer. If someone knows that the steel gasket is a million times better than paper + sealer, please let me know.

Engine + Driveline / metal or paper timing case gasket?

« on: June 07, 2015, 03:32:18 PM »

Just started reassembly of my engine and realized that I have two gaskets (one steel and one paper) that go between the timing chain case and the block... do I use both? I'm not seeing anything about two gaskets in the manual or online. RealOEM lists the steel gasket, but nothing about the paper. It seems strange to me to use both. If I'm supposed to pick one, is one better than the other?

Yeah, that's it. Thanks for the help! I was even on realoem and missed that diagram.

I really hope it's something that simple. It's been so long since I tore the engine down, it's hard to remember what was there, although I could have sworn I pulled a freeze plug.

I'll go look through parts and see if I can find a pipe that fits it. Thanks for that suggestion.

Hey guys, I'm new to the m42 so I'm going to have lots of questions as I work my way through my current swap!

I got freeze plugs for this block and realized that there is one larger hole by the 1st cylinder on the driver's side. I can't find any info on this one. Everything lists the plugs as being 36mm but this one obviously isn't and can't figure out what size/part number is.
