Pinto Sump Gasket

[Thrashed]

Hi guys

 

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience fitting the 2wd victor reinz sump gasket. It replaces the fibre/paper wedges with an upgraded half moon gasket that has them built in.

 

Are they any good? Do they work as I have a leaky sump from the frank pulley end seal.

 

Thanks

Steve

I have used Wynns black gasket sealer.

ECP sell it & it works a treat.

Me & Steve in Stockport have the only leak free Redtops in the UK.

My trick is to smear oil resistant sealant on the sump then place gasket on and wait for it to set

The half moons need pushing on to the block which I do again with a smear of sealant

One area always overlooked is the fibre wedges that go in the block between the block and the crank bearing caps.

When I last did this I put a good amount of sealant in the whole first and it squeezed out of the front block face

Ultimately with careful use of sealant and careful fixing of the half moons I have an oil leak free Pinto
