cam tray gasket?
I was wondering if anyone is aware of a gasket that goes between the head and the cam tray. My head gasket kit didn't come with one and I can't remember if it had one when I removed it. It looks like it did? (I removed the head a year ago) I few people that I asked said that it doesn't take a gasket, just the rubber O rings.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Re: cam tray gasket?
There is no gasket but you should put a liberal amount of gasket sealer prior to putting the cam section on the head. And yes.., don't forget those two o-rings !!
On my head I used Hylomar between the head and cam tray. This is a blue super tacky gasket sealer.

Re: cam tray gasket?
No, they don't put any gasket sealer but do get an o-ring. The o-rings for the spark plug well/holes are larger green o-rings in your head kit. Just put engine oil on all o-rings.
Also, in my kit there where lots of extra o-rings that confused the heck out of me. Just try to match up the old o-ring with the new.., and make sure the quantity of a specific o-ring supplied in the kit matches what's needed for the engine. In other words, the two small o-rings needed to seal the oil supply holes from the head to cam tray, there should only be two of them in the kit that match the size required. I recall in my kit there were two sets of o-rings (4) that fit this locations but only two of them fit perfectly, the other two where just a hair to small and lay perfectly in the o-ring groove cut in the head. So be careful !
And lastly, there are o-rings where the coolant pipe (above the headers) mates with the head. Don't forget those !
