Hello, everyone.
Okay. I give up. I've gone back through the archives looking for advice on
gaskets, located a grunch of threads, but not found exactly what I need.
1) First, Justin Wagner has a Silicone gasket product for each the valve
cover and sump. I'd like to hear from people who have actually installed and
used these, although I seem to remember (though I couldn't find them) people
on the list saying they did work very well.
2) Moss offers "regular" gasket sets, and "Payen" sets. Price difference is
negligible. Does anyone have a comment on the the quality difference?
3) People have talked a lot about sealants for paper/cork gaskets. Silicone
seems to be the choice. Permatex blue silicone has always worked okay for me,
but maybe I'm missing something there. I am particularly worried about those
tiny cork T-gaskets that fit into the front removable block. And of course
I'm worried about getting pieces apart again when the inevitable repair is
required.
Thanks everyone.
