Hey, if it is a paper gasket....have you ever used the Anaerobic
Gasket gel?(anyone?). My european auto mechanic friend said he's
been using it since it came out for any metal/metal gaskets and loves
it. I just used it in a few spots putting the Saab back together.
It used to be Locktite 518(Permatex bought Locktite) and is now
Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker 518xx(x's being size of tube). Cures
in absence of air, with the theory that the overgoo won't harden and
break loose and plug up oil passages. They say that it cures in 24
hours up to .015/or 30 min-4hrs with the $14 "surface prep/activator
spray" which will let it cure up to .05. I had to remove something I
put in out of order, and it required a little heat to get it loose.
They even make an Anaerobic Flange Gasket Maker which is spec'd for
stuff with more vibration(trannsmission stuff). Great for someone
who lives in rural Mass....;-) Tom
