Hi all,
I just read this one on the TR2-4 home page. Because of the
poor quality of the figure of eight liner gaskets and their lack of
compressability (is that a word?) and ability to lift the liners
above the top of the block someone came up with the idea of gluing a
.012 inch thick length of copper wire to into a a grove in the
gasket, thus aiding sealing and allowing the correct height for the
liners to be obtained. Has anybody tried this or has anyone who has
not found there to be problems with the gaskets available, either
steel or copper.
