[TR] TR3 Oil Pan Gasket

[tr3abobm77 at frontier.com]

Terry,

Last time I changed mine I went to Advance Auto and bought a roll of rubberized cork gasket material and made my own.
Then I siliconed it to just the pan and laid it flange down on a flat surface and put some weight on it for a
day or 2. I lightly greased the top surface and installed it. I have had it off and on a few times since and
it is still a good leak-proof fit aslong as you don't crank down on the bolts too much.

I had a cork sump pan gasket for my TR3, and found that I was able to finally stop the leaks.

Now, doing the engine rebuild, neither Moss or TRF carries one.

Anybody know of a source?

Thanks!
