Inlet/exhaust Metal Gasket & Rear Main Question

[James_03]

Hey guys,

After opinions on two things.

When using metal intake/exhaust gaskets is there anything special to do other than insuring the faces are good?

Would there be any benefit to applying something like hylomar to the the intake surface before installing to get a better seal?

and..

When replacing the rear main seal into the housing, how have people done this in the past? I am probably going to make up a drift to do it on a mates lathe. But if it can be installed without going to this effort then please let me know what you normally do.

Cheers.

Anyone?

James, hylomar wont hurt if the new gaskets aren't coated. You can use the old seal to push the new one in squarely.

Ok cool thanks for that.
