I need gaskets for my oil bar.  Where  can I get these ? 

 

Thank you. 

Cut your own is probably your best option, or use a light coat of RTV.  Some people say that their bars don't have any gasket.

We've rambled on about them in the past...

Any examples of applying RTV?  I’m sure there’s a good way to do this?

Just clean the cam tower area and the oil bar face plate very well to remove all traces of oil with spirits/alcohol and apply a very thin smear of RTV or gasket maker.  Make sure that no RTV can be squeezed into the oil hole.

They did have gaskets.  I just cut my own and used aviation sealant.  I never liked RTV on anything where a blob could come loose and block flow.

 

The gasket is easy... just use you box of cornflakes and cut a rectangle to fit the area. Use a paper punch or hole punch (or drill) to make the two holes (one for oil and one for bolt).  They can be same diameter. Trim any loose paper (xacto/file/sand paper). Coat with sealant and you are done.

Aviation sealant?  Is there another name for this? If I go to Oreilly will they know what I’m talking about?  I think I’ll use gasket material, wont’ cardboard break down with oil?

Is there a special RTV you use?  I’m preparing all my options

The cereal box cardboard doesn't break down in oil. I've never had one fail and I've made quite a few gaskets over the years.
