wings on my base gasket
« on: February 20, 2025, 02:53:30 PM »
I'm 75% sure this is from the rebuild kit I bought from Cliff
In any case, what do the flaps in the secondary bores on this gasket do, and should I just hack them off?

Looks like it's backwards.

It is clear that the gasket is installed in the wrong direction.
