Hello!

Sorry to keep asking questions about my engine build, but here's another:

The rear crank oil seal had a paper gasket on it when I took the engine apart. I've just opened up the new seal set and there's a metal one in there.

Does anyone know if only certain engines (age related mabey) had these?

Also, do I need to put goo on it to make it seal?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers!

The metal gasket is a revised version, the paper gasket is obsolete.

Put some sealant on it though :D
