G320RC and insulator block gasket

[-Dusty-]

Hello.

I ordered a Crazy Stu intake and a RB innovations insulator block with the diaphram filter.

Now I took my insulator block off my G320 and found that there was no gasket. The new insulator block only came with a plastic gasket for the Carb. Is this normal? Should I order one from DDM, if so which one should I use? There is a graphite one and a plastic one.

I’d use a graphite.. the plastic ones will distort over time causing issues

 

[DougStar]

You are supposed to only use the plastic ??

I found a MCD racing Gasket set for G320 on a site here in canada. Will get that for now, then maybe order the plastic one from DDM later.

You are supposed to only use the plastic ??

If you're supposed to use it, then why would they not include it. Or mention it on the page. Seems weird


On their youtube installation they reuse the isolator block gasket

 

[DougStar]

Ok missed that guess you should put it on

I don't know. Just seems wierd that my original insulator block, or isolater block didnt have a gasket. Wanted to give it a run today but now I have to wait.

I got a billet ddm manifold and mailded steve to ask about the gasket story.
He said use Teflon one only
But i must say im not that impressed with it. im gonna go back to the stock one in my losi

I had the RB innovations isolator block on my 34 on my Baja before I went reed and I put a plastic gasket on.... had to change it after a few tanks because it distorted and plugged up my pulse hole... I thought it would make things run cooler but turns out it was a ?idea.. looked great on paper though ?

RB innovations isolator block

Looked good on paper?

Sorry.. I meant using the plastic gasket looked good on paper... but not a good thing... the isolator bock is nice really like it

just installed it on my red arrow 34 super mod

I used the supplied plastic one

I've only ever ran the stock ones no issues...?...but all i hear with them fancy alloy ones is nothing but problems?

 

[DougStar]

Last time i was running my losi the manifold was ?

There is a supplied teflon gasket for between the Carb and Insulator block, But there was no supplied gasket for the spot between the Insulator block and Engine. In the video they re use the gasket that came with the engine, but mine doesn't have one

Wait, your engine didn't have a gasket between the insulator block and engine? How were u not getting air leaks?

Pretty sure I was getting leaks, wasnt massively bad but something was wrong. Sometimes it would idle pretty high then back and stuff like that.

Yip that's a leak

I use the graphite gasket between the RB Isolator block and the engine and the Teflon gasket between the carb and isolator block.

Little update. I just couldn't get this running good with the RB Isolator block. Tried different gasket setups and stuff but no matter what it would bog down and not start up til it cooled down. Put the stock one back on and its been running like a dream.

That is exactly how my losi was behaving with the alloy manifold??? did the same thing drop kicked the POS put on the stock one issues gone?????
