today's bit of fun - name the gasket



which bits are the gaskets for?

have I got this right?

top & bottom row = sump
left/rightmost = crank seals
3 square ones = fuel pump (why 3?)

what are the two 'n' shaped ones on left?

'n' shape with round bit = timing cover?

inside the is the oil pump gasket.

is there a separate gasket for the water pump? or is it part of timing cover?

reason for asking is will this together with a tipo end gsket be all I need gasket wise?

Looks like Kent to me too. There are 3 fuel pump gaskets cos you probably have an insulator & one goes each side of that, the third is probably a different thickness for different units. Surely the "N" shaped on the left are timing cover, tho' no idea why 2, & "N" shaped on right waterpump, I certainly don't recall the w/pump & t/cover being on the same gasket, tho it's about 15 years since I was familiar with the Kent - You have all the sump/crank/oil pump ones correct. Re what gaskets you need - depwnds what you're doing!! HLH

When you buy a gasket kit like this for the xflow, the waterpump gasket is part of the timing cover gasket (the round bit on the n shaped gasket). If you buy a waterpump it comes with a separate gasket, so if replacing the water pump at a later date you have to cut the old one away from the timing gasket when you remove the old pump.

The two n shaped gaskets on the left are for the crank oil seal carrier that fits at the flywheel end of the crank. I suspect that earlier engines may have a different design, thus the two slightly different gaskets.

Don't know why you have a spare fuel pump gasket, I only got two in my Payen set.

It looks very much like this one to me

which is said to be for an early cortina 1967 to 1970 I'm not sure what engine is fitted to it though.

Ahh, orginal post just said three gaskets. I've never had a new spacer supplied in a gasket set before!

yes it is crossflow - seems it is all there - interesting about the waterpump being a separate item and the fule pump spacer thingy.

thanks for info.
