[V8] Block drain plug gasket

[Dave Saad]

I am pretty sure it is just a copper or aluminum washer.  Nothing fancy. Look at the bolt head - it will have a flat sealing surface if this is true.  Your old washer is likely to be stuck to the block.

> Hey, well I flushed the Lago car out a few times with water after doing the timing belt so as to refill with the newer coolant that Blau sent with the kit.  I decided to drain the driver's side as it was accessible(couldn't see the passenger one, as my jack is acting like an Audi, and decided to hemmorage all it's Hydraulic fluid), and there didn't appear to be a drain seal on that bolt.  The ETKA show's a seal(and a different seal on the passenger one if I'm not mistaken).  Just wondering if anyone know's what that seal might be made of so I can just find something that works/or if I'm totally wrong and there's no seal.  The dealer in Denver did the last belt, and guessing they thought it didn't need it(if it was ever there to begin with)....Isn't leaking right now, but haven't run the car due to Hydraulic hemmoraging issues with the rebuilt PS hoses(more on that later)....Sick of draining/fixing leaks on what was a perfectly awsome car.  That 5-gallon bucket of Mobil DTE13-M has saved the day twice now, and have to drain the hydraulics yet again(totally clean fluid at this point).  That Mini Vac tool has been worth every penny for sucking out all that hydraulic fluid.  Sincerely, Tom(a few small hurdles from driving the Lago car after all these years.....)
