Re: [MBZ] Gasket paper WAS Motorcycle success
The ball end of a small ball-peen hammer works well in cutting gaskets as long as you use many light hammer blows around the edges and in the holes. On heavy gasket material I only mark it with the hammer and then cut it with a razor knife and snips.

Re: [MBZ] Gasket paper WAS Motorcycle success
When I was a kid I had a Triumph TR4 with bad exhaust manifold gasket. At the time you could buy asbestos gasket material which fixed it nicely.

Re: [MBZ] Gasket paper WAS Motorcycle success
I wanted to run one of my RC cars, but it wasn't getting any exhaust pressure into the fuel tank. I noticed that the exhaust was leaking at the header gasket, and I didn't have any of the $.50 gaskets on hand. My dad had some gasket paper lying around, and it was up and running a few minutes later with a homemade gasket. MB content: One of my '78 300D's was leaking oil at the front of the engine, and some searching revealed that it was the vac pump gasket.

We stamped that one out with a hammer using the surface of the pump, and the center which we pumched out was used for some more RC header gaskets.

Most parts places have it near the gasket sealer. Comes in little rolls. ---Robert John Robbins wrote: > Jim Cathey wrote: > >> Yeah, gasket paper. Cheap and effective. Just takes a bit of >> time.
