I need to make a crankcase gasket, for a 362cc 1969 OMC opposed twin 2-stroke. Which material is rated (best) for this application?

The cork material should work fine. The thickness and form-fitting capabilities should work very well. I have used this set to make gaskets for a street legal nitrous injected heavy modified 350 Chevy engine with no problems ie, water pump gasket, and header to exhaust connections.

I would recommend the cork gasket... Keep in mind, these sheets are 8'' X 11'' .... If the cork would fail , maybe try the rubber based gasket... Was there any old gasket left upon removal , do you know what the old gasket material was/is...

Sorry, I can't answer that question - I bought this motorcycle cover for my adult trike because standard bicycle covers were two snug and were difficult to put on. But one of the motorcycle cover manufactures has a field where you pick the bike and it tells you what cover to buy. I found it on the Amazon site - perhaps you may run into that same site. Good luck

It is a silicon gasket and I believe it is rated at 250 F. Works fine in a brew kettle, would not use it in a turkey fryer,

o-rings and plastics will last longer if you avoid using petroleum lubricants, I would use silicon grease.

Hi Myron T., This part is an ABS extruded part with the front portion where the water jacket is separate, is made of aluminum to take higher temperature related stress. My old one cracked right where the new part is now made of aluminum. This should be an excellent upgrade. I have had mine installed now for approximately 5 - 6000 miles. I dont believe an all metal one can be had unless there is a 3rd party manufacturing Company building them for racing purposes. I hope this helps. NOTE: the torque tolerances on these replacements need to be closely adhered to, uneven or over torquing, I believe will cause failure. PS, NO gaskets are needed on the actual manifold, they are molded into it.

I found gaskets for the Bialetti Class 6-cup espresso model (and other Bialetti models) at: www.espressozone.com/espresso-maker-gaskets.html I haven't had any personal experience with the above retailer, but hope you find what you need. The gaskets are priced pretty steeply (especially after having to pay for shipping), but like you, I wasn't able to find any other place that had them in stock. If you find any other available source(s), please report back!

I disagree on the high-temperature comment. I use this for valve cover gaskets on a large (1200cc) air cooled motorcycle engine. The material is thick enough and soft enough that it pretty well stops oil seep, even though I'm using full synthetic light weight oil. Unlike some other materials (cork, for instance), I don't worry about bits breaking off and getting into the engine.The wrapper that comes with it says it's for sealing oil, water, or gasoline.I especially like it because with aluminum, there's a lot less torque for clamping down, and the soft thick material compensates for irregularities pretty well.

Depends on the specific application. Nitrile/Buna-N is a very common o-ring material for mechanical/automotive applications but not universally appropriate. The Amazon listing indicates it's likely to be incompatible with brake fluid. I'd figure out what you are specifically going to be using them for and do a web search or two to check compatibility.

If it's plastic, it's probably ABS. Not much sticks to ABS. I'd bet the expansion and contraction from the heat and pressure would work it loose. The best thing for ABS is the plumbing cement made specifically for ABS pipe. If the radiator is metal, the Water Weld will work great. Just make sure it's clean and roughed up. Give it at least 12 hours to cure.

Use regular unleaded fuel 87 octane,do not mix oil with gas.Oil goes separate in the crankcase, oil type 5W30.

A SRAM Omnium crankset will work but you may have to shave down a few of the crankset bolts otherwise those bolts will hit the frame. I was able to do it and it worked.

This is used for the older single piece cranksets. I use these because I cut up old bicycles and cut them up and weld new ones. www.flickr.com/photos/fredtron

I would plan for 8hrs...the hardest part is loosening and tightening the crank bolt. I know they are not cheap, but buying the special socket for this is advised. I'm saying this only in hindsight, as I used a 2x4 with holes cut in it (a technique I found on the web), but it was not ideal and barely worked.

Incidental contact with gasoline will not be a problem. As for heat, well how hot is hot? I'm sure you could melt it/burn it with Propane or MAPP gas, if you're thinking of using on engine parts things other than exhaust manifolds should be fine. As always proper surface prep is key.

I'm using nomex gasket which works really good on my smoker( two door version).They sent me enough to fit the entire smoker.you can find it every where including here Nomex High-Temp Grill Replacement Gasket for Large Big Green Egg (R)

I tried to use this on carburetor from 1949 and a door handle from the same truck. I have done a lot of soldering before and frankly this stuff doesn't work. No matter how clean I got the surfaces I could not get it to wick out into cracks or pits or even a flat surface. I really want to tell you "yes" buy it and give it a shot But I have had trouble with it. However it is cheap and wont hurt to try out since there isn't much else out there for repairing pot metal.

If you go to twobros.com, you can look up your bike and see what is available for it. I did some research and am happy with my new exhaust. It's a great quality product.
