Title: Alloy Pump Cover Gasket
Post by: Etches on March 19, 2013, 10:58:22 PM
Basically i'm after something which is obsolete at the dealers for this

Debating whether to just use some heavy duty sealant I have (final systems) which worked fine on the rocker cover.

What have people chose to use ?

Cheers

i see a paper gasket on mine, but as they are obsolete now can you get some basket paper and just cut one the same shape? maybe take a rubbing on a piece of paper then cut it out and use it as a template for your gasket use a wad punch for holes or if you don't have one very small sharp scissors.

If not as you say Im sure a servant would work.

On a side note have you checked these gasket arnt available direct from other manufacturers such as erling can't remember if you get on of these in a "bottom end gasket set"
