bearbalu Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 The timing cover has a bunch of rubber seals that I am replacing (they were part of overhaul gasket set). Seems like some sealant or adhesive was used. Does anyone know which one to use? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger1 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Assuming you are talking about 85-89 engines, none are required Unless engine has gotten hot to melt and sag? Then you have to decide what you need to do to patch it up. I would use a none hardening type because you need to get them off to swap timiing belts. Sometimes a spot of wheel bearing grease will hold something in place during assy. MHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea#3 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 The factory uses a spot of weather strip glue to hold them in place 3M weaterstrip glue works SEA#3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearbalu Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 Thanks. It is a 98 outback. I used some SEAL-ALL but it didn't hold - claims to hold moldings on car the way weather stripe would Dealership said they skip glue - it is has holders for the seals, so glue isn't really required to hold. May be I will try weather stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
