Title: Gasket seal on base gasket?
Post by: Sprocket on June 29, 2019, 05:11:43 PM

Looking at the front oil galleries that go up through the barrels (the ones that use the large dowels at the head) I'm concerned there are different shapes meeting each other. The cases have a kind of triangle section but the barrels side looks round. Should i use some hondabond on the base gasket i wonder?

No, it will be fine. The gasket does a perfect job on its own.

I just put a thin smear of grease on paper or jointing gaskets, save jointing compounds for metal to metal surfaces.
