Re: Crankcase - block gaskets

Charles,

my point is that someone has to try it first - you are obviously tempted so why not just go for it?

Can I also ask, if the Loctite works for you, why are you looking to try something else?



First mover disadvantage puts me off, especially with the thoughts about creep.
However I'm always looking for better ways, hence my curiousity. I'd just prefer not to remove the block again. It's bloody awkward with the blower!

Re: Crankcase - block gaskets

If it helps persuade you to try Charles, my Nippy runs the correct engine together with 9E77 cam etc, so the loads are probably fairly high, certainly far greater than your usual road engine...... I also have a rather heavy right foot
I will be experimenting with one of these gaskets in my special once I finally get the thing back together again, however I have been rather dragging my heels on this front recently.
