Cam cover

[john.p.clegg]

Cedric asked for some info,here is the cam cover
...

I use Stainless nylocks

over stainless washers

over fibre washers

and use silicon to make a semi-permenant gasket

note the silicon hose bits fitted to the cam cover studs

and the anti-splash plate..

and removed

a little bit filed away to help prise the cover off

just a bit of Ali drilled and shaped

So the silicone tubing put around the screws help to prevent the oil to leak out...? Good idea then

Ray at RD Enterprises is selling a cam cover gasket made from modern materials;

New Uprated TC Cam Cover Gasket
New composite fiber gasket with silicone sealing bead
This is the most durable gasket yet! Attach the plain side of the gasket to either the head or the cam cover with sealant, the integrated silicone bead will seal the other side.

Ref. 26E0001HP $22.00 each
Quantity pricing: two @ $20.00 each, four @ $18.70 each

Phil,

Do you, or anyone, know if these gaskets are available in the UK?

No idea... I know they are made in Italy though so you'd think....

I had a Cam cover gasket Identical to that i bought from Burton a bit back, It was expensive i seem to remember (4 times the price of a Cork one) and its not reusable just like the cork.

The annoying thing is i only had it on a year before i had to remove the cam cover (can't remember why) so i went back to Cork. Thing is i've never had any oil leak issues with any of my Cam Cover Gaskets?? The cork i only use once, Buy them in a sheet so they don't deform, fit it dry and make sure the two surfaces are thoroughly clean / degrease. You can tell if you have done it right if the next time you have to remove the Cam cover its stuck down so takes effort to remove.

I was told the RDent one is re-usable...

Cometic gasket - reusable & does not need sealant, but it is advisable imo to apply some over the "D" inserts.
