Using Felt Seals and gaskets

Posted by Brian on January 05, 2003 at 16:06:47 from (24.114.185.3):

I'm starting to put the seals back in the A, and now for a couple more questions:

is there any prep work required for the felt type seals ? Such as soaking them in oil, or maybe just putting some around the edge ?

For the paper/card board type, same question, do I soak them at all ? What about using a thin layer of gasket maker (high temp orange stuff that comes in a tube) on both surfaces ?

Final question, I have a complete gasket set for rebuilding the motor, it's from Federal Mogul. There is a round felt seal, maybe 3/4 to 1" dia, with maybe a 3/8 hole in the centre, what the heck is that for ?

Thanks again,
Brian
