philbey Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 CA18s run no gasket on the sump, just silicon from the factory. Won't work on a K though. Quote
Boost+k Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 ive never had any luck with aftermarket sump gaskets EVER.... always just gone back to the gen toyota one and reused it i thought the NZ catalogs were all wrong and i just used the old gasket, it happened to me twice with a aftermarket gasket on different cars (a 4k and 5k) and i said never again!

RainWarriorDregs Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 yeah theres an odd lip on the keto sump gaskets, it offered some problems for me. the old girl was spewing out $10 a litre oil... not cool. couldn't find a sump gasket at any of the shops here so ended up getting one of the fellas in autobahn to just find something he had lying around, ended up working a treat. it was a rubber fabric gasket designed for a merc sump, haha!

philbey Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 I'm guessing at that price you were using a synthetic and it's no wonder it was pissing out. For a K engine, I would only use a mineral oil. Quote
