293.12 | Questions on sealants | CSC32::SALEM::LEMAY | | Thu Feb 06 1997 10:14 | 22 |
| We've been talking about sealants and gaskets in the British note and
it dawned on me that I have an application that I'm not sure what to
use on it.
If your familiar with Knuckleheads you know the rocker boxes consist of
little tin stamped pans and covers behind the infamous cast knuckles
you see on the right side of the engine. These pans are held in place
and sealed at their base by the valve guides.
My question is what's a good goop to use between the pans and the heads
when pressing in the guides? The problems as I see it are high heat,
and hot oil. I don't think the oil is under pressure in this area as
it's supossed to be drawn back to the cam cover under vacuum through
the push rod covers. Also it only leaks when sitting a while, not
when running and when there's vacuum.
Based on my experience with Yamabond this appears to have the best
properties but I don't know if it can withstand the heat there.
What kind of temperatures can I expect at the guides on a cast iron
head?
Dick
