I just saw this interesting video on YouTube about how to make an "0" ring gasket for TC cam covers. Here is the link:

I would be interested in acquiring a copy of the program used for machining the groove. Does anyone on here know who made the video? Any opinions on doing this?

Its all covered in a thread called "How to stop cam cover leaks for ever" or similar.

It was in this thread....

Here's the video that shows how to do it. Please feel free to share - I'm sure it will help a lot of twin cam owners!

I saw that, too. I would suggest, for this mod to work, is to make certain the cam cover sits
absolutely flat on the head, all the way around. A cork gasket can make up some differences
but this mod will seem to work best with a flat fitting cover.
