Thread: Paper gaskets

Opened the "Elring" VRS gasket set this evening ....and the separate gasket kit for replacing the sump etc

The head gaskets and various paper gaskets appear to have a 2mm wide line of sealant "printed" on them ...is this correct? If so, does one need to put a smidgeon of sealant on the other side of the gasket as well?

Is a thin line of sealant needed on "rubber" sump and rocker gaskets? If so, what's recommended?

thanks for advice

the gaskets with the rubber printed on them, they are fine just install them without extra goo.
loctite 515 is a good sump gasket maker
