using typing paper I push the screws through it and screw them into the block to hold the paper then rub with dirty fingers to transfer an image of the gasket area on to the paper. I then remove the paper and cover it with scotch tape to build up the paper and so it won't tear then cut out the insideof the gasket pattern until it fits the part. I left the out side of the gasket pattern lots of room to make it stronger. I can trim the gasket after it is in place and all tighten up.


you can see how the pattern turned out. the hole for the shaft is left small and is cut to size after all the bolts are in the case and tight. that is when I trim the outside part of the gasket as well using an exacto knife the gasket is fugly but this is how to make it easy and not tear.


a very small amount of gasket glue on the outer couple of edges to help hold it while putting the screws in place I don't use alot and only in the places you can see.This side has a raised lip and its the side i pressed the flywheel into fisrt then install the gasket and the other side pulling it down with the case screws turning each a little at a time


closing up the crankcase take your time and it will all go together. Put all screws in place to help hold the gasket in place then screw all screws a little at a time to close the case. Trim the excess gasket material on the outer parts of the case with an exacto knife to make it look nice and don't forget to trim the excess in the cylinder hole and the cross shaft hole. I found this to be the easiest way to get that thin gasket inplace with out tearing it. sort of cheating but it works. I took great care to make the gasket fit the rasied lip around the case as you can't trim it later. the patterm I make made helped to make it all fairly easy. the pattern took 4 tries before I was happy with it and could use it.
