You’ll be in a better position than where you were!Again, assuming it is the correct plate, yes.As you had it in the original post, there was no connection between the ring gear and the engine. So the starter would never actually turn...
7 bolt rear main seal gasket is originally RTV, there is no paper gasket from factory. That's only for 6 bolt.Edit : my bad, Brian has already mentioned it above.
So, to give a conclusion (correct me if i'm wrong):Any composite HG is fine for a low HP, N/T applicationFelpro kit is fineRtv the oil pan, no gasketRtv the Rear Main Seal Housing/Holder.
I’ve always used the Fel-Pro kits for my unspectacularly normal power levels.The 7-bolt engine didn’t use a gasket for the rear main seal housing to engine block from the factory, only RTV sealant.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I mean if this:
"Oil pan is just a small bead of grey RTV"
Could apply also to the rear main seal Housing. I've read some people saying that they dont use the gasket and just put RTV on itA while ago, when i knew even...
Oil pan doesn't take a gasket and don't use one that's offered in many kits (usually cork).
Oil pan is just a small bead of grey RTV.
Felpro makes perfectly fine gaskets all around, including their composite which I've run for the last decade
so, I'll stick to the composite HG from the apex kit. I already have all the gaskets for the top end (vc, intake and exhaust manifold, hg, etc) but i'm missing the ones from the bottom end (front cover, oil pan, Rear Main Seal Housing, oil...
You need a gasket kit for 1g 7 bolt. If you can't source it, you get two kits, for 1g 6 bolt and 2g 7 bolt. Those would cover all what you need. Or just order one by one. In this way you wouldn't waste gaskets that you won't use.1G 7 bolt is...
When people refer to Felpro they can sometime be referring to the Permatorque multilayer steel one, but quite often they’re referencing the cheap composite one. Unless you’re having the head resurfaced to the correct RA then a multi layer steel...
hi, I'm in the process of rebuilding by 1g 7 bolt and i want to know which gaskets should i get.I already purchased an Apex full set, but it was for a 6 bolt so some of them i can/can't use. the HG came with the set, but it is a composite one...
