I put some new engine tin rubber seals all around. But things don't seem right. I'd think the lip of the engine tin would rest in the bottom lip of the rubber seal - making for a nice leak proof seal. Instead, mine looks like this:
 The compartment deck and the engine tin are the same height. The rubber is 2+ inches tall. Engine tin lip is 1/2" above the rubber lip. |
