daverclasper Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hi. Just fitted a new one. Used Blue hylomar as a sealant. Do you just tighten cover until the cork compresses a couple of mm, as it's quite chunky please?. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 yes , spin the nuts down to contact the cover then a couple of turns to grip the gasket keep a check tighten a bit more if needed ,, over tightening just distorts the top of the RC keeping the gasket located is the worst part of the design Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonMember Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 There's a reason the factory replaced the hex nuts with slot-head T-nuts on later engines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Back in the 70s my Avenger had a RC with cut out knotches to keep the seal located and 6 shouldered bolts which controlled the crush on the seal good idea its day which worked well, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
