Hello

I am installing 94mm cylinders to the block, (autolinea)and cant find a gasket or seal between cylinder and block.  stock cylinders have a paper gasket but cant find anything that fits for this application.

 

Thank you

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I understand what you are asking.  The simple answer is that the gasket for the base of the cylinders is not made for the bigger bore cylinders.  Every engine builder I know has their own views on what to use, but the most common choice is a high-quality / high-temperature sealant.  The link below is the most popular that we sell:
