geordabroad Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser1 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betarick Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikb Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 As the head spacer only has O rings on the head side you should use Blue Hylomar on the cylinder side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
