Rebuilding a RB25DET NEO where are Fluid Gaskets used?

[QLDR31]

Hey Guys,

So i'm finally getting around to rebuilding my AWD RB25DET NEO.

I haven't rebuilt an engine before.

I have bought a genuine Nissan RB25DET NEO complete engine gasket repair kit (part number: 10101AA525).

So I have worked out the sump and water pump need a fluid gasket.

Kit instructions say sump needs a 4mm bead of gasket, while other areas require a 2.5mm bead.

Just wondering what other areas need fluid gasket?

Thanks in advance

Corners of cam seals under the cam covers. Little squidge of goo there helps to prevent leaks. That's about it.

Not too long ago I used to think every gasket, including head gasket had some on it.

So none on thermostat?

I spose those half moons on the cam cover need some?

You can spooge the thermostat gasket, but it will seal with just a paper gasket. After all, cars have all done that for the last 100+ years.

Cam seal corners and half moons all much the same. Not required, but a little can prevent later weeps developing.
