Side Cover Gasket Type (1 Viewer)

[germaneighter]

Should I use FelPro cork or FelPro rubber side cover gasket?

Also, I've had good results using Indian Head gasket sealer on other applications. Anyone use it on the side cover?

thanks

I went with OEM from @cruiseroutfit. They sale the toyota sealer as well. Can't go wrong with them.

OEM cork gasket, with a very thin coat of Toyota FIPG sealer on both sides. Don't over tighten it, the torque spec is only 90 inch-pounds.

OEM Cork with Catapillar 5H2471 gasket adhesive, as seen on page 17 of my restoration, here: Builds - 1978 US Market FJ40 Restoration - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1978-us-market-fj40-restoration.1084111/page-17

I am not the first, as several of the builders on this site have recommended this adhesive. Not only does it work amazing, you don't have FIPG or a high tack goo visible after you snug it down. Good luck!
