Another Cyclemaster Question   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #108 of 137 |
I'm wondering what everyone is doing about sealing the cylinder and
the head? Is the paper gasket between the case and the cylinder
adequate, or should a person use a product like Permatex to make a
gasket there?


And what about between the cylinder and the head? Is there really no
gasket there? Again, would a bit of Permatex be a good idea?


Thanks for any help or advice.
