Gene, when you install the wet sleeves in a C113 or C123 engine, do you put any kind of sealer at the top of the sleeve where it sits on the deck of the block?
Or do you just lube the O-ring with soap and let the top dry?

Thanks!

No sealer i do use the lube for the bearings around the top. The same stuff is used on the o-rings. The head gasket will keep them in place. I do use a cap screw and washer in a head bolt threaded hole to keep the sleeves from moving when the pistons and rings are installed in the next hole. I use the white stuff i get from NAPA for lube and use lots of it. I dont think it would hurt to seal the top ring around the sleeve with RTV or the black stuff as any excess will burn out when engine is started. I also paint the head gasket with hi-temp aluminium paint on the FEL-PRO gasket. Get them fron CAR QUEST.This is what i do and it has worked for me. Thanks for the questions always glad to help. always gene b

I used dish detergent on the seal and on the lip of the sleeve. Make sure the recessed area for the sleeve in the block is clean. I didn't use anything but the headgasket when installing the head. No leaks either. Make sure the area in the block where these seals are installed is clean
of all dirt or rust. Very important. Hal
PS: I covered the seals with water after installing the sleeves and let it sit all night
to check for leaks.
