built 7m dedicated to arctic cat

[allen600]

i decided to go with purple and green for my color scheme because i had to sell my snowmobile to get money to do this build

 

[CyFi6]

Interesting color haha. I wouldnt use that cork oil pan gasket if i were you though..

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

Get that gasket out of there if you dont want to have to pull the pan later and re seal! It will just leak! Use Black RTV

I think it looks better than the smurf blue.

And ya fipg or three bond.

 

[allen600]

whats so bad about a cork oil pan gasket?

 

[Nghty89]

It leaks. Trust me. Use the black fipg from any auto store, or use 'The Right Stuff'. It's expensive but DAMN does it seal well! Just like black fipg... only on crack and stickier than an old hookers inner thighs.

Or use the recommended FIPG Toyota seal packing....

^^ I'm with you 87MGTE, I thought it resembled an HKS tribute as well

 

[allen600]

i have a cork one on my n/a mototr with yamabond and it hasnt leaked a drop

 

[hvyman]

The engine was never desgined to have a cork gasket there for it is not needed and will only cause problems down the road. And seeing how there is only 2 ways to get enough room to get to the gasket and neither of them are simple its better to do it right the first time.

 

[kamikazemkiii]

Use FIPG or permatex, I had a leak on a FRESH rebuild, it sucked ass. Be safe than sorry, we know what were talking about.

 

[87nasupra]

My 2 cents, but just the thickness of the gasket moves the oil pick up tube just that much futher away. FIPG WTF. Think about it :icon_wink. Awesome colors though, I raced with those colors in go-karts for most of my career, till john deere green was put on my car for a sponsor :naughty:

 

[87M-GTE]

Heck, I want to paint my block purple now!!!

And with the like... 5 or more guys who are advising against the cork gasket, go buy some FIPG and call it a day!
By the way, do they make a purple high temp engine paint? or is that just some multi use paint?
