matt205xs 0 Posted October 23, 2006 i have been trying to sort a leak from my water dizzy, i thought it was just perished jubilee clips so i replaced them, but the is still a tiny drip which looks like its coming trougn where the dizzy joins to the block, is there a gasket in there which might need replacing?

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted October 23, 2006 There should be either a gasket, rubber or other depending on if the collector is plastic or alloy. Most are plastic iirc & you need the rubber gasket to sit in the recess. Parts CD. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonmurgie 2 Posted October 23, 2006 Its not a 'dizzy' which is actually used to describe the Distributor... it's the rear water distribution block There isn't a gasket on there as far as I know (well, not on an Mi16 at least) so I just used some instant gasket stuff on my Mi16 and it seems to work. Just moe completely, clean both faces and re-fit with some gasket paste stuff, should do the trick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normski 1 Posted October 23, 2006 I had a leak from the same place on my Mi16 motor. There is a gasket for that joint but I hadn't made a good enough job of cleaning the mating surfaces. Another lesson learnt. When I put it back together I used the gasket along with some instant gasket sealer just to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just moe completely, clean both faces and re-fit with some gasket paste stuff, should do the trick There is a rubber 'O' ring between the distribution fitting andf the block. I always thoroughly clean both mating surfaces, get a new o ring of the right size from my local factors and seal with Pug Main Dealer "GOLD" sealer. They never leak. Be careful not to overtighten the 2 allen key bolts as this will distort the plastic and it will never seal. Maxi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
