Hello Folks,
When I stripped the clutch side casing off I didn't have a replacement gasket, I built it up with Motorsil D, everything turns, nothing is tight, clutch drum/primary gear end float has been checked and is ok, should a lack of thickness of gasket cause a problem?.
Thanks,
Alan.

That is a good question I cannae answer. However, I always thought gaskets stopped oil leaking. If you have replaced it with something else surely the thickness would be equivalent?

The original crankcase centre gasket was very thin, but was replaced by the use of sealant to improve oil tightness. Some sealants are 'self shimming' and achieve a consistent thin film.

The only concern I can think of is that the oil pump feed sleeve is now over-compressed and potentially restricting oil flow.
