So I sent my 1990 Turbo 2 Rexy in and it turns out the rear rotor was completely blown like the compression test showed. I have the core and am getting ready to start putting on the mani and all the other tedious things...I have a few questions to ask about overall maintenance after it is running but first off what type of gasket sealant do you guys recommend? I really dont wanna mess this up

K thanks, and also, when I am replacing my metal exhaust manifold gasket I dont need any sealant correct? I have a used gasket thats in good shape it just has some charring on it...which way should the charring face?

 

So I have my engine core that was rebuilt and I am working on putting the rest back together. The car is a 1990 Turbo and I was wondering if I should replace the gasket from the turbo to the manifold and the gasket from the turbo to the frontpipe... They are very expensive and I know I will get the response "not as expensive as rebuilding an engine". I can't take pictures and show you their condition Thanks

 

Eh, if they are in good condition I would re-use them.... however it doesn't hurt to get a new one; in the long run you are going to eventually get an exhaust leak and they will need to be replaced anyways.... since it's all apart I would go ahead and do it.

 

damn, it just sucks because it has to wait until next friday; pay day. It's halted my progress and Im ready to start breaking the engine in

 

You can always swap them on when you change the oil after your first 500 miles.

 

that would work better, Ill take pictures in a minute and see if you think they are worth replacing now
