I have been cleaning/replacing/replating as many little parts as I can while doing my conversion. Last week I replaced the square rear transmission cover at the the tail end of my tail shifter with a newly replated cover and a fresh factory gasket (thanks again Doctor Evil). The thing now leaks like crazy.
When I went to replace this gasket several years ago, I could not find one locally and did not have the time to order one (I was driving the car daily), so I made my own from cork gasket material that I purchased at a local FLAPS. Worked great for 15 years. The factory gaskets are paper. I am wondering if it is to thin and/or has a lack of compression thickness. I am assuming that they are a dry install. Would it be a total hack job to add a bead of RTV to either side of the gasket? I have one new one left. I sure dont want any of that stuff getting into the transmission. Or - I can get out the cork and the sissors again....... Any thoughts are appreciated - thanks! Scott S |

Dang,
Never thought I'd hear the Cap'n admit there was an engine build trick or two that predated him... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

That was one more BritBike trick that never worked for me, but we used it on aircooled VW's in the 60's, supposedly stolen from the aircraft guys. |
