Cam cover "0" ring gasket mod

PostPost by: webbslinger » Fri May 10, 2019 5:07 am

I just saw this interesting video on YouTube about how to make an "0" ring gasket for TC cam covers. Here is the link:

I would be interested in acquiring a copy of the program used for machining the groove. Does anyone on here know who made the video? Any opinions on doing this?

I saw that, too. I would suggest, for this mod to work, is to make certain the cam cover sits
absolutely flat on the head, all the way around. A cork gasket can make up some differences
but this mod will seem to work best with a flat fitting cover.
