wrenching4life Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hey all, I am in the process of freshening up the top end on the Ambac injected E9. I have from what I think all the gaskets and components ready to install. Im just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to sealing these motors up as close to 100% as possible. Or for that matter any input would be awesome. Thanks All.

fjh Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Use a good quality silcone sealant on the valley plates and power tower a smidge around the fuel pump mounting flange oring use a gasket on the P/s pump glued on with gasket glue Use anaerobic sealant to put the compressor on (lot of weight on that one ) and if you used a front cover gasket take it back off and get rid of the gasket they tended to leak at the bottom from the engine mount flexing the cover use silicone or anaerobic on that as well and reset the cam thrust screw!
