This is so annoying – I ordered the gasket kit thinking it would have ALL the gaskets in it. But no, there are some extras.

So firstly I used the rubber seal in the wrong place (I can see that now), this is to go between the bearing cap and the sump. It will need stretching 😮 But there is a half moon of steel that is required to secure this in place…. who knew?? 😕

And for the crank seal I need a length of special cord…… aaaaargh 👿 👿

It is now in the post from Holland along with a carb gasket kit and a feul pump gasket kit and also the carb heat shield….. may as well profit from a new order of parts 😀
