    Hi,

    Be sure to compare the new gasket with the old gasket. Sometimes you have to punch out some passages.


    Thank you for your indulgence,

        If you take a smear of axle grease on your thumb and forfinger and rub it into the gasket on both sides, it will allow the gasket to come off the surfaces cleanly when you next seperate them. thus making the gasket reuseable. Grease is quite resistant to gas so no worries about leaking.

        You can do this with any paper type gasket and I routinely do it to side cover gaskets as well.

        An old mechanics trick I picked up along the way.

        Cheers,
        S.
