Mweezy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hey guys, I just changed my starter and I'm buying new gaskets tomorrow for the rear water bypass joint. So since the gaskets are made of metal with inside rubber seal, do I still have to add some gasket maker? Sorry for the silly question but I just want to be sure if the gaskets are all good by them selves. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2006 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I changed mine doing the same job some time ago. Make sure the mating surfaces are clean and dry, fit new gaskets and make sure the nuts are tightened to the correct torque. I didn't use any sealer and have had no problems since doing the job.

lenore Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Nope, those are great gaskets...torque to spec and you should be good to go...They use them in the waterpump on the RX engines.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobKind Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 GASKETS ARE EASY, HOW DO YOU GET THE REAR WATER BY-PASS JOINT REMOVED TO GET AT STATTER BOLTS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobKind Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I SPENT DAYS TRYING TO GET TO THE BOLTS THAT HOLD IN THE STARTER, IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha4000 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I used a crow foot ratchet set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
