fayjo56 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 OK, before I really lose the plot. Any advice on re-fitting the sump, how do I get the two strips of cork to stay in place at each end of the sump? I can only think of some instant glue??? The handbook makes it sound so easy.:banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 A gentle touch of Hoylmar blue or Vasaline! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangie Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I agree with Tony. If you have time however, take the cork/sump inside and heat both with a hairdryer, tape the cork on with some masking tape and leave it till morning. This will "train" the cork to lie where you want it. Alec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 plain old fashioned grease works well on cork sump caskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Signals Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Check your pieces of cork are the correct size and section. I had two 'correct' gasket sets with two very different sections of cork for the ends. One was never going to fit in a million years without some serious trimming. The others, although seemingly not as substantial and as snug a fit, worked perfectly. I used silicon gasket goo to hold them in place, double the sealing action.

fayjo56 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks all, I am going to have another go tomorrow. Funny enought the cork strips do seem a little wide so maybe I will trim them down a bit. I'll let you know how I got on.:undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayjo56 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Done it! Thanks all, I think I'll turn the truck upside down if I ever need to take it off again:wow:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
