1996 4runner engine rebuild
The head gasket blew on my son's 4 runner and I am rebuilding the engine myself since the mechanic wanted more than what I paid for the 4runner to do it. I have a question. I ordered a complete rebuild gasket kit. I figured since I'm have way there, I minus well go ahead and do a complete engine rebuild. The kit came with several types of gaskets; metal, cork, and a black paper type. I've installed the cork and black paper type before and used the gasket sealer with them. The metal gasket I have not used before. It has a raised bead around the openings.
Do I use any gasket sealer with this metal gasket? Also the kit had the metal gasket and black paper gasket for the timing cover. Do I use both or just one or the other? Thanks for your help. |
I don't know about all the gaskets but the new updated water pump gasket is metal with a black silicone bead built into it and you install it dry. I would think similar type gaskets are also installed dry.
