How to make a round gasket. Thats brilliant John. :clap: Dave |
| saw:
Nice I love it. :clap: :clap: |

Kenneth, I have never had any trouble with this stuff, even when I used it for head gaskets on ic engines. Maybe problems could occur if you started to get into elevated heat situations, but hopefully, none of my engines will ever reach that stage. I do know that they had a bit of trouble on full sized steam engines with PTFE tape for sealing joints. But they are working at much higher levels of everything compared to our small offerings.

John looks like you have the same gear as I do for gasket production I do mine slightly different measure the ID , OD . Then I cut the OD with the compass/cutter then follow up with the ID . The reason I do it that way is most of the places I need a gasket for precludes the application of the knife on the OD toes crossed although it will not be necessary for a runner this week Stuart |

Stuart, I would normally cut the outside first as well, but in this case, I wanted it exact to size, with no chance of it being too large or small. I got what I wanted, which is what it is all about. I have been on about getting this engine up and running for so long now, I am giving no more predictions, it runs when it and I am ready. My work regime, as has been shown, can throw any predictions to the wind. John |
