Please explain where the "insulating-thingy" is located and how it looks. Is it the rubber or cork seal that sits between the cylinder head and the valve cover? That is a gasket ("packning" in swedish).
Cheers, Thomas
I suppose it's that cork seal between the cylinders and the gasket.
To make sure: It's about 30 cm x 12 cm (12inc x 4.5 inc), about 1 mm thick (or 2), has three big holes for cylinders, and many smaller holes for other channels, oil as a one (or more). I know what it is called in Finnish, but that doesn't help you that much. I suppose direct conversion from the Finnish word would become "Gasket insulator".
"Cylinder head gasket" or simply "head gasket" in American English :-)
That sounds like a head gasket. It's the thing that sits between the cylinder head and the engine block and seals the combustion gasses, coolant, oil.
like this:
The HEAD gasket was "clogged"????????
Now THATS different. --
