Rich,
Coat the gasket evenly with Permatex RTV high temp sealant. I think you can
use this in place of the gasket too. Not sure if that is recommended though.
Just makes sure you spread it evenly and mate the surfaces before the stuff
dries out.
Regards....Ian

Subject: Anyone use or recomend gasket sealer? + torque specs
| I changed my front cover (timing) gasket about 200 miles ago. I cleaned everything, checked for flaws in the mating surfaces and torqued |
| bolts in a criss cross pattern just the way it should be. The cover is now leaking again and it is driving me nuts. Does anyone do anything with the gaskets like coating them with sealant, grease or anything that they swear by? And what torque spec do those bolts get? I may have under done it in fear of stripping the main case but I don't think so. Any help or suggestions? Thanks, Rich |
