cylinder head gasket cj5 1968 4cylinder

my old gasket was a copper one , new one i must check (i don t remenber)


what do you mean by copper spray : grease with copper

 

Permatex makes a spray-can gasket sealer with copper in it.

But Wenaha, I'm curious - why the recommendation for copper?

 

I think it seals better and is less likely to blow out between cylinders. I have only used the copper gaskets on an L134, but never had a gasket failure. Prettier, too!

 

ok

my new one is metal and fiber (rockauto)

 

hallo

my gasket has a metale side and fiber side (fel pro).

what side must i put on the bloc ?

 

Should be marked, either on the gasket or there will be instructions on or in the box.

Or there may only be one orientation where the gasket matches the block, ie it will not match upside down.

 

i ll take a look

thanks

 

If it does match either way, what would be the difference, functionally? Just curious.

 

I don't know.

Possible that's why it's not marked.

Contact Felpro?

 

If it is not marked and matches the holes either way then it won't mater which side is up or down.

 

there s nothning written on it !

you can turn it upside down : same result , fit perfectly !

nothing special wrtitten on the instructions , the only thing interesting is :

"metal faced gasket : resuires a thin even coat of sealer applied to the metal sides of gasket "


my head gasket is fel-pro= 7543sbx

 

hallo guys

the return !!!!!

my gasket is on , the engine is running .

it was very longue because my health was bad since april 2015 and big troubles arround the ignition


thank you , have a nice day

 

WOOT.. Always glad to hear another success story. Hoping your health will let you ride and enjoy your jeep..

 

Excellent! Congratulations.

I was thinking you ought to get with @Alan28 and shoot us a few pictures together, but I realized then it looks like you're about 5.5 hours apart.

regards

 

hallo

i ve used the fiber gasket with a kind of glue .

a friend of mine use this"glue" on these cars made for tracks .


for now , it s running fine

 

yes for all you said

i m happy with my jeep

 

There is another way to reach the inboard carburetor nut. You can loosen the valve cover and stick a wrench under it -- you can't take it off if you have a different carb like I do -- and loosen it. Once you do, you can take the nut off with your fingers. See pix below for location... I have a two barrel Weber down draft on mine, so your setup will be a bit different, as you are looking at the adapter and bottom of the Weber carb in this picture. Webers should be familiar to you...
