Gasket set - Washers?

PostPost by: AHM » Tue Feb 14, 2012 9:44 am

Hi All,

I have several bottom end gasket sets. All seem to have parts in them that I have no idea where they go!
a thin section 'O'ring
small thick ally washer
larger copper crush washer

Also the top end set that I have has a 2 inch diameter cork washer/seal

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon

The copper one is probably for the sump plug.

Simon,
The thick alloy washer is for the chain tension pivot bolt.

That's what I thought, but it is too small.

I will post a picture.

Thanks,

As an aside to this, does anyone know where one can get cork gaskets for the filler cap? The rubber ones available from the usual suspects don't seem to work for me, seeming to be a bit too thin, I was wondering if the cork ones were a bit thicker?

Sorry for the slight hi-jack

Unfortunately not - I have a gasket set from the PO - I think it came from Christopher Neil in about 1985. The rubber on on my filler cap is US so I've used the cork one (one less thing to sort out!)

Ah! Ok, so a fuel pump gasket is what I need. Thanks Gary, and thanks Simon for letting me know.

Cheers

It could be but the seal that comes with the AC service kit is rubber not cork.

I have picked out cork before out of at least one (from my bad memory), maybe dpo owner installed but fuel pump is not in the top end set. I am only guessing on this, I looked for a part number in the master parts list. I could not find the one for the cap so who knows. I have been wrong before and I will be again and that is not of much concern to me. I just state what I see or remember.
