question about gaskets

[vansantvoort]

Hi,

Im restoring my VGLA1t and as unexperienced as i am do not know what the best way is to install the gaskets. Do you oil them with the same oil you put in the pertol? or dou you grease them with bearing grease? or dou you use liquid gasket sealer? I think my casings are in a good condition but what do i need to do to make a good resto?

thanks

a little bit of gearbox oil should do the trick, just before putting the engine together. the gasket should swell a little when wet and so seal the engine.

Gewoon licht insmeren met vloeibare pakking en klaar is Hjalmar!
