Re: Nc30 problem solving
Are you sure? There are no U shaped cutouts on the NC35, I assume they NC30 is the same? (been a while since I set eyes on a 30 engine. The U's are usually found on the straight fours, etc.Neosophist wrote:you apply gasket sealer to the cut out sections only.Malc wrote:You shouldn't need gasket sealer with a new gasket and everything clean before refitting.Barry1234 wrote:Think I've found problem, it appears when the shims were done last year they didn't apply gasket sealant and also left lumps of old sealer in rocker cover groove, but also found a split where gasket meets spark plug opening so needs a replacement anyway, also a little bit crusty in places
each side there are "u" shaped cutouts. these have sealent in them.
its all in the service maunal in the downloads section
Edit - I stand corrected, the manual does indeed recommend A-bond. Still no u-shaped cutouts though.
