[AJD] Gaskets

[Duane Ledford]

You can also use the crankcase cover as a pattern for your gasket. Clean the 
mating surfaces real good and take a can of spray paint and spray a coat of 
paint onto the surface that will need the gasket. Take the cover and press 
onto your gasket material while the paint is wet. Carefully lift the cover 
and presto, a perfectly formed guide to cut the gasket. Even has the places 
marked for the bolt holes. A steady hand and a sharp razor knife will finish 
the job.
