Gasket paper instead of gaskets

(1/3) > >>

billdn:
I have some left over gasket paper, any problems with using it for the gasket for the sump pan and Air breather box on top of the rocker box. ?

Laverdaroo:
I doubt it, I would but somebody will say otherwise no doubt ;)

Its the Yorkshire in me!

TrickyMicky:
Just make sure it is the correct thickness, we've all heard how particular Mr Honda can be with the precise length of some bolts!!  Take your time when marking/cutting out round some of the bolt holes, on some casings the amount of "land" round the hole can be quite narrow.

billdn:
Hmm, didn't keep old gasket and not sure of thickness. Maybe play safe.
Thanks.

Oddjob:
Just ask someone to measure what thickness they are Bill. Might as well use it up and save some money at the same time. I've found all the bolt holes are 5mm deeper than the screw/bolt specified by Honda. 32mm bolt hole will take a 35mm bolt with no problem.
