Hi everyone... getting ready to put the sleeves/pistons back in, had a quick question about figure of 8 gaskets.
First, is it recommended to put the Wellseal on both sides of the gasket? so that there is sealant on the engine block side and the piston sleeve side?
And secondly, in regards to this installation.... exactly what is the best way to install the Fo8 gaskets? Should reach down and put the gasket in place in the engine block first then slide the sleeves into their spots or should I put one sleeve into the gasket, install it then slide the next one in? not quite sure how to tackle it or what easiest/best working way is.
Any pointers would be very much appreciated! Feel free to add any feedback at all to the piston installs. It's my first time...i'm pretty confident in myself mechanically, but if anyone has some secret tips, by all means... fire away.
thanks!
