85 & 86 Oil Filler Gasket ?
Did a search but nothing conclusive.
The 85 & 86 cars have the metal oil filler neck with a plate type gasket.
The gasket is NLA.
What is the solution please?
Replace with the later plastic filler neck and use the rubber O ring type gasket?
Use the existing with a sealant?
Any other solutions please?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

You could probably cut your own. If you just need to seal it, you might try the "Right Stuff". It's like black Cheeze Whiz that turns into rubber. Messy stuff but it holds really well.

I think the old baffle plate should be reusable with a thin coat of sealant.

Hi Brian,
Thanks - so I assume the plastic one fitted without problems?
Andrew,
Thanks and I have your super goo on my list of things to get.

You mean I have yet another NLA part just sitting on my shelf? Wow. They are moving alot of parts for the 928 to NLA.
Just buy some paper gasket material and cut it to the proper shape. And use gaskacinch.

That louvered baffle at one time was being sold to 78-84 owners as a way to keep more of the oil down in the crankcase ...

Way back when I did mine Devek sold a replacement, my old one had separated at the seal. The Devek replacement has held up well.
I agree w/Jim you could do a re-seal on both sides of the old, if it is broken like my old one was, it should not be all that hard to make a new one and use a sealant.

I used the metal baffle with black silicone on both sides. It seems to have sealed well and i still have the original metal filler and the baffle which seemed like a lot of positive compared to the plastic filler conversion.
