You know how you wake up in the middle of the night and think "oh shi....!" Had that last night thinking about the half round rubber seal that goes at the front of the motor between the block and gear box. Which way round does it go? Flat side in or out? |

So that means the vertical flat side goes in? - hope so cause thats what I did - seemed to fit better that way |

The solid verticle rib goes to the outside and can be seen when assembled by looking down between the gearbox and timing chain plate. Dave |

bugger - that means I've done it wrong  - at least I've only got the box bolted on and nothing else - hope it comes apart OK without ripping the gaskets

You really should not reuse the gaskets regardless of whether they rip or not. Dave. |

I flipped it the wrong way around a couple of engines ago...it leaked like a Cambodian refugee's boat. Much sadness and wailing. |

Yah - being so anal about this rebuild guess I'm doing/redoing it in my sleep The gaskets should all be the same (factory specified) thickness. It is the thickness of the crushed gasket that determines the backlash between the Primary gear and the Idler gear. Dave |

Wombat Standard thickness of block to gear case gasket is about 0.009". Just spent some time tracking down the correct gasket. Some aftermarket ones are too thick and increase the backlash between primary gear and idler. Make sure you use the correct front gasket, the one with the step in it. All S and 1275 blocks are wider at the base but the joint bolt holes are the same distance apart between front and rear as small bore blocks. If you use the wrong front gasket it protrudes into the gearbox area. I'm about to put short motor onto gearbox. I hope I remember the correct way for the front main bearing cap seal. Originals were cork but are now moulded rubber. Hopefully no leaks. RonR |

More delays
