Headbolt leak. Beginning of the End?

[maxstu]

And a quick look through the parts department in the loft. Got a full gasket set with head jacket seals somewhere?

[maxstu]

Can't see the Dirko S and those vents are no good it will never hold compression

Must be Aircooled parts

Can't see the Dirko S and those vents are no good it will never hold compression

What about the tube marked "Yellow Head Sealant"

.....and the way you're going I think I know where Stu is going to stick those vents

Perhaps after a successful rebuild

I know the colour of DirkoS do you?

Happy to leave you to it

I know the colour of DirkoS do you?

Yeah, it's black, I just looked it up. .

As you know, I've only stripped a WBX, it's not yet in the process of reassembly, I was more thinking of the head bolts rather than the full rebuild, so not yet fully familiar with the various flavours of sealing materials for a WBX.

What's the black packet of Dirko stuff in the first stash of bits Stu posted - I assumed you had seen that but it wasn't Dirko S, or is it ?

[itchyfeet]

That multipack says Dirko not Dirko S ( which comes with Elring gasket sets)

there are lots of Dirko varities.

Reinzosil is another possabilty comes with VR gasket sets

[937carrera]

I have done some more reading.

Dirko S is good to 300 degrees C isn't it ?

There's a "black" plain Dirko that's good to 180 degrees C, but it seems that the black product in the multipack is Dirko S, but packaged as "Black +300 C"

Does that make sense, as I see that Stu's three pack has a black package with the red bar that I assume says +300 on it, but the picture isn't clear enough ?

[maxstu]

There you go! Lets pull togther on this one. I need your expertise and humour to see me through
So what does what?

Rebuild delayed. Im still painting hallway. Starting tomorrow

[itchyfeet]

yellow for head nuts
curil T for case halves
Dirko HT not really needed but oil.pump nuts and oil strainer can be sealed with this if you need.
Dirko S or Reinzosil for heads

Duno if that Dirko is the same, who knows what the S means?

Cheers Paul That's that area covered.

[937carrera]

[maxstu]

Painting finished on time.




Had to delay rip down as lm in Swanley for a few days. New liveries to see to and stables in need of minor repairs. New thread thursday.

Wish me luck
