When I did my p gasket I used a genuine metal gasket and put a thin smear of wynns instant gasket on it. That was 4 years ago and no issues so far.

^^ As above too. Have replaced two p gaskets (on different engines) this way with no problem . Also replaced water pump at same time as it was all stripped down.

Did you find any of the threads had stripped?
I’m considering if I need to get a metric helicoil kit before I start stripping it down. 1995 Defender 110 CSW 1971 SIIA Lightweight |

These days I try to be prepared. I have already installed 2 on the timing cover and 3 on the exhaust manifold studs.
Seems LR don't believe in torq wrenches. I have both a 8x1.25 and 10x1.5 helicoil set in my garage. |
