darkzebra Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have removed the engine from my 1982 280ZXT to replace the head. I will also replace the timing setup. This is the 1st time I am doing this type of repairs, and I am confused by the hugh variety of different sealants at the autoparts store. I am looking for recommendations on which sealant I should use with each of the different gasket involved, including the oil-pan gasket. Any instructions on how to use the gaskets, e.g. spread thick, or thin film only, etc, would also be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter72 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I like the Gray sealant, Thin layer on the gaskets. Personally i like to use copper tack on my headgaskets. I was taught to use it by some old school mechanics, when i was wrenching with them in the early 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
