Marinaman Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hello, Please, can anyone tell me if all 1300 sump gaskets are the same? Or adaptable to fit. I was looking at the Payen EG090 gasket set, but is doesn't hold a sump gasket. So, I was wondering if any 1300 sump gasket would fit between the 1300 FWD engine block and the FWD diff-sump. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteStupps Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hello Marinaman, I would say you can use any Spitfire / Herald sump gasket. Photo below shows a normal Spitfire / Herald sump gasket on the 1300FWD sump. Look at the top right corner - it's not a perfect fit but covers all the way round. Some people will tell you the proper FWD gasket thickness is 0.020" and is critically important and you shouldn't use anything else. I say it's not that critical and have covered many miles using the 'wrong' gasket. It does drop a little oil but that seems to be from the diff / gearbox rather than engine. I'm almost certain the gasket thickness had nothing to do with two broken clutch plates as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteStupps Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) For completeness, here's a screenshot I took off Facebook some years ago. And I see there's a bloke selling bottom-end sets on Ebay for £30 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375236691610?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Z00pthgUTVq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=TkCI0YfNRsi&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Edited May 6 by PeteStupps added ebay link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
