Walesy 0 Posted September 7, 2005 i think the correct term is " flange " mate :D they're a bugga for leaking!, good news is that they're only a few quid!. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Get the O ring as well. Consider doing the one on the front of the head as well, while dropping the coolant out. Gavin items 1 and 3 I think. EDIT not as clever as I thought I was. :roll: Screen shot of the right page in ETKA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolrado 0 Posted September 7, 2005 one thing worth checking when you remove the plastic flange is any pitting where the o-ring used to sit against the head, i had a few small pits where coolant had been leaking past the knackered seal for a long time and had erroded the head slightly, i just cleaned out the pitted bits and skimmed some automotive silicone gasket sealent into them and let it dry before i reasembled it, if you dont fill these pits it they may just get worse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
