It’s 2009 and that movie sucked.  In other things, I’m going to be making some gaskets.  Some people use gray gasket maker as it’s resilient to gasoline and such.  I prefer to make my own gaskets the old school way, outa gasket paper.  This way you don’t have to be a professional goop artist to have a good seal.  Pick up a roll 1/64 gasket paper from Schucks for $3.33 (about)

I recommend a setup like this: Roll of thin gasket paper, tape, sharp razor, fine pencil, traceable gaskets.
Gasket preparation

Here we have a crank case gasket and a variated gear box gasket.  I always make two at a time.  Saves time on prep.  If you are wondering, I reuse the tape.  As I discovered as a child, electrical tape rules for this.

You should have something like this when you are done.

Gaskets

I don’t have time to install these into anything today. That joyous task will be saved for another episode.

I’ll be working tonight at the Crown Room, come by and say hi.

Peace yall.
