Cool, but I guess I meant do you put sealant on the gasket before assembly? Do you put oil on the gasket before assembly? Do you assemble the engine dry with nothing on the gasket?
Look,
Everybody seems to do it differently and or has tricks that they use for better success. I have assembled only about 10 engines in the past. Some with gaskets, some without.
As far as the Derbi goes, I need to figure out what is the best way to seal the two halves together while using a gasket. Thank you guys.
