    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

clutch cover gasket?

Does the clutch cover gasket require any silicone or adhesive on either side during install?
 
according to the manual the answer is no... but I've had so many oil leaks that I always use a thin layer of high temperature silicone on both sides of the cover gaskets. that way they are also easier to remove and reuse.
 
I always use a very thin coat of non-hardening gasket sealer (mostly silicone), just so it is tacky. saves any potential leak, particulalry since I reue gaskets until they fall to pieces!
 
i've had good luck with both gasket and RTV for quite a while now.

if the gasket is in bad shape though, i'd suggest scraping it off, and using just RTV. if its in good shape, use both, it wont hurt.
