Title: Pro x cylinder
Post by: Pj Uptmor on March 28, 2015, 12:21:52 PM

I have  a pro x cylinder has a removable water neck fitting for the top water hose to the radiator. When I did a pressure test on the radiator.  I found it to be leaking. I applied red gasket sealer on it but it still leaks. Is there a gasket to buy r a different sealer.  

Thank you
Paul

Yes there should be a gasket between the top spigot and the head.

Who would have this gasket?

I think ESR sells them.

You can get gasket material at your local auto parts store & make your own as another option. There would be enough material to make other gaskets as well.

ESR does not sell the top spigot for the head. Eddie only sells the spigot on the side of the cylinder. I had a cylinder who's head was missing the top spigot. I ended up buying a used head just for the spigot.

The guys are right. For such a small gasket its cheaper and easier to make it yourself. Your local auto parts store should sell sheets of gasket material.

I've been told CPI dealers can get the spigot.

Three Bond #1211 sealant, apply a thin coat, bolt it all together & let it sit & cure out a whole day & night before adding any coolant to the engine. Curing time is the key to the sealant working as it should.
No silicone sealant is instant & needs time to cure out.
