Zetec sump sealing
johhny5 - 16/8/09 at 09:13 AM

I was helping kellogs to fit a mdified sump yesterday.
Today we find we have a major oil leak.
Is there a sump gasket for the zetec?
We used bue hylmol to seal it but the original sump had a black rubber compound on it.
What is the best stuff to use?

Yes there is a gasket and you need a tiny amount of sealer where the oil pump and rear seal carrier atach to the block.

Ford sell the proper stuff for doing this, and it comes in a syringe type container.
