Workin on installing my dual pass plate today and the new gasket seems to be too long when installing it(theres like a 1/4" of extra gasket). So I tried using the stock gasket and its the same way.... wtf!? Im laying the gasket in the groove perfect and I have extra material and I cant figure out what is wrong! Any ideas?

Thanks.

 

you should be able to push it into the groove, it should rest on the outside wall of the groove, not dead center

 

thanks for the quick response but theres barely enough room in the groove for the gasket as it is. How am I suppose to keep it against the outside wall? Im almost to the point where im just gonna cut it and say f-it!

 

it will push against all the walls, but the idea of an oring is to seal on the outside wall, the bottom of the groove and the face its mouting too, you should be able to force it into the groove and it will just expand slightly when you do

the other thing is you can stick it in your freezer for a couplke oif minutes and it will shrink, then put it in the groove and warm up and it will expand to fill the groove, it wont shrink or expand a ton but it might be enough to get it in easy if your having issues

 

Let me take a pix and show how much extra material I have.... its rediculous!

 

try doing the freezer thing

 

You didn't get to play with the shape box when you were a kid, huh Nick?

 

hahaha

 

It will fit!!!

Don't freeze it or anything else stupid like that.

Just have some patience and work it in.

Like having teh but sex!

 

freezing is not stupid. It is how you get press fits and tight fits too work, i worked for parker they make o rings and that is actually something we suggest to do, to our customers.

but thank you for your intelligent input and use of words

 

I got one gasket in the freezer....

hahhaa.... why dont u come down here and help me before I blow this POS car up.... I already punched it once..... grrr


lol...

PIX-

 

Unlike some bums, I'm working right now...

Oximoron much???

 

crap i cant see pics, can you host them on this site, then ill be able to see em

 

Any ideas guys? I mean come on wtf is going on! I highly doubt stickin it in the freezer will help but at this point in time ill try anything..... I think i might stick my fist in the freezer with the gasket.... why did i punch the intake manifold... Well if the freezer thing doesnt work.... im cuttin this bitch and layin some gasket maker **** in there.... GRR!!!

 

it will fit, if it came out of the groove it will go back into the groove

 

lol... im suppose to be in class now..... no work for me today

workin on it... gay ass verizon....

Ive never really been that great with being patient... I usually just shove it in.... lol...

PIX-

 

yeah you have to work it in, i can see gaps around the edges, it will take time, just work with it

and stop punching things

 

Sweet new paint job on my winter beater thanks to my buds @ Dunkin Donuts.... lol

 

nice

 

It keeps poppin out..... Its like a horse tryin to do a cat.... it wont fit.. lol

 

 

Sorry, I didn't realize I was on Jeopardy, I thought I was on the same forum that has the "my girlfriend dumed me what do I do" poll

I'll make a more eloquent choice or words next time.

 

SWEET! Got it in... the freezer thing DID work!! woohoo thanks... now its time to go finish quick.....

later

 

lol, happy for you, just hope it doesn't leak...

 

i told you, it will be perfect, and it wont leak, its a normal process to get orings to fit

your input is useless, especially if you have no experience with this method
