I posted this query to the 'List' earlier in the week and was dismayed to
find that I hadn't received any responses as of Wed evening. As I'm not
certain if this post was actually posted I will resubmit, surely we have
more than a few engine re-builders in our ranks !
my apologies if this actually duplicates my previous post and my
appreciation to any and all who can help out.

As progress continues with the reconstruction of my '57 3A, I have two
questions for my fellow members of the Triumph list regarding preferred
Gasket Sealant.....
1) What type of sealant is most commonly used for the Figure (8)
gaskets at the bottom of the cylinder liners ?
1a) Are the Figure (8) gaskets sealed both Top & Bottom / I have read
conflicting instructions on this item.
2) What type of sealant is most commonly used for the Copper Head Basket ?
2a) Is the Head Gasket lightly coated 'all over' or just around the
water jackets ?
thanking you all in advance
