Hello

rebuilding my engine. I am putting the cylinder back on , cylinder head with spacer to soften the engine and will also replace the clutch gasket.

Where should I use gasket paste (blue hylomar) and where shouldn't I?

Not on bottom of cylinder. Not on cylinder head. But use it on clutch casing gasket.

Can someone confirm whether I am right or alternatively, tell me I'm wrong

Thanks

Ian

The only time I use it is to hold the gasket in place while reassembling - I use grease on the clutch gasket all the time (to hold it) and works well. Dont really need it otherwise.

Just greas is all you need and cleanliness of course

never use sealer on gaskets just grease to hold them in place! only time i have used sealer is on a ty crankcase where they have no gasket!

As the head spacer only has O rings on the head side you should use Blue Hylomar on the cylinder side

Don't need jointing compound anywhere,other than a small dob to hold gasket in place,definetly not on head/cylinder joint,compression pressure will most likely blow it
