Title: crankcase and clutch gasket
Post by nateordie on 03/24/13 at 13:12:35

I am getting the verslavy mod and in the process of taking off the right side cover I noticed that the gasket was in horrible shape. (looks like previous owner took it off a few times and didn't replace it. does anyone know where I can get one for relatively cheap? Thanks.

thanks for the help everyone. One more question. Is it necessary to apply some sort of gasket sealant to the gasket or can I just put on the gasket dry and bolt it up? Thanks. :)

it looks to me like their is an oil passageway at the top. when i put mine back on im going to use a little high temp rtv around the passageway. maybe its not necessary. going to use chapstick to coat the other side of the gasket. the chapstick will keep the gasket from sticking to the cover. maybe i wont have to order a gasket next time. i know it works good on carburator gaskets. the only down side is the next time my wife puts some on her lips! :o

I agree they can be mounted dry with no trouble; however I used a small smear here and there to hold it in place while I replaced the side cover. And I sealed the two or three bolts that have gasket washers on them. CAUTION: Some gaskets are put on dry so engine fluids can soak into them and seal them. I've had no leaks, but Keep that in mind. Also, I took a week or so to get the job done (Too busy) and used the cardboard the gasket came on to mark out the shape of the case and punched holes for each bolt just in case I forgot. Not a hard job. Take your time and take pics if you need too.
