My Own questions got me thinking. I went back out to the garage and took another look at the spare gear case I have. I also grabbed a spare gasket I have and took a good long look. I figured it out. The gasket protects the oil side of the gear case. Not the water side so the picture that I assumed showed the gasket in the correct orientation is wrong.. If I reverse the gasket, the oil passage is completely sealed and the water side is open for exhaust gases to leave. I feel like such a dummy but once again I thought the Drawings were orientation correct. Thanks for the assist. I’m glad I asked because it actually helped me figure it out for myself.
Yes I have used ultra black. Good stuff!
