Alright so now that I've made like 10 failed gaskets I'm kind of running out of ideas on how to make the dam thing. I've been making it a large diameter so that I can create the taper, but they just never seem to turn out right, always some sort of leak, so I'm turning to my favoriate bunch of guys, and gals for advice. How have you guys that have made them done it? What's the magic to getting the diameter and taper right? Tell me I can do it, I think I can I think I can ...

Jkelzer- I tried the rtv thing, but it didn't make a real good seal.
Mark- Yeah no kidding! It's such a struggle with this dam thing. I think I may have solved the leak well enough. Tonight I fired it up ( with a screwdriver, I feel so cool) and got it to idle at around 1200 rpm, which isn't ideal , but is much better than 2000 and it's static, and I think with timing it should be pretty close to a grand. We'll see right ? Eric, Oh, see my new thread, that is a wierd problem (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |
