Hi All, but especially v8 gurus....
I've got a 3.9v8 (originally from a range rover classic M-Reg), i'm changing the cylinder head gaskets because of excessive crank case pressure (14 bolt issue that i'll be changing to 10 bolt).
ive got the kit STC1641 which is correct for this age and configuration of 3.9. and i have identified all the bits i need from it.
my question is this, what are the THICK rubber washers for
there are 2 varieties, one set of 8 which are the same diameter as the valve springs.... which have no place to go,
and a small set about 8millimeters ID.
there are also a set of 8 thin solid copper washers.
when dismantling the heads i have not found these parts anywhere, are these bits just included in the kit for older (or more exotic) engines?
?
tinterweb does not have any explanations, and can't get any info from the manufacturers, but all the manufactureers of the kit have pictures showing the same basic bits. ALSO the rave overhaul manuals show the kit having all these bits as well, but does not mention where they go in overhaul....
boo
Cheers,
