I went ahead and made a plate from .025" stainless. I had a single gasket in my stash. But, no 3M47 – must have used it up or "lost" it. Did have an old bottle of Permatex Indian Head Gasket Shellac Compound so thought I’d give it a try. Coated both sides of all surfaces and let it dry then assembled. Let it sit overnight then ran the motor today. Results were excellent – motor ran great. Temp on exhaust cover was around 95 to 100 with the hottest point at the bottom rear of the cover at around 135. No leaks.
Now I have two more questions. Always more questions…..1) Have any of you used the Permatex Indian Head Shellac Compound? Results?
2) Permatex also makes a "high heat" gasket spray called "Copper Spray-a-Gasket". The write up and video are very good. Has anyone ever used this product? Results?
Thanks again for all of the help. Sure makes this hobby enjoyable.
