The only cork gaskets I recall making are the fuel filter bowl and the
gas tank sending unit. I made these out of 1/16" cork but off hand
don't see why 1/8" couldn't be used. Maybe it's my old fuel pumps that
have been tweaked from over-tightening, but I do find the cork seals
better than the rubber replacement gaskets often supplied.
Of course, the valve cover gaskets are cork if you are looking for a
project but at $4 each I have never bothered to make my own... you might
have to though if you are using an aftermarket valve cover.
Otherwise -- eighth-inch cork on the back of decorative tiles are dandy
trivets. Nice presents for people you like only a little bit.
