Reply To: Paper thin gaskets

[JACQUES]

no expert but those gaskets just seal the water passage and  exhausts shot down the lower section . In either case I doubt they are subjected to high pressures

why so thin… cost cutting possibly        delicate… depends how you reassemble things.  why not  “set” it down with some  thin gasket maker  just to keep it from being  moved around  while you settle the PH down before bolting it up.
