I have seen that before.That's what I figured.
That image clip is from a set of Commando covers being sold for $400....... but my stock 273 covers have the same issue. Driver's side, lower, center bolt hole
Yep, eye shadow and other make up productsBat poop
Chris a non leak fix use pc3 on it tap it down then sand it. Use a washer over the fix. wont leak. But wait theres more
Thats common to any sheet metal cover where the human beans repeatedly tighten bolts rather than replace leaking gaskets.
Chris lots of ways to fix that the question is what you want it to look like really.
$400 ouch! My be it's from using cork gaskets and having to crank them down so tight to seal. I think the originals were rubber.That's what I figured.

What was the name of the gasket brand you mentioned... started with an M I think?
I didn't click disagree because I'm not absolutely certain, but I do think OEM were cork gaskets. Along with china rail gaskets and others.
The trick to success with cork gaskets is use a ball peen to dimple the bolt hole upward. Tighten the bolts only enough to flatten your dimple. Seal is supposed to be from bolt to bolt, along the flat spans, not and the bolt alone.
Morning!
looks like it would be a nuisance, have to land in winnipeg as a point of entry for customs.
Agreed, I have never owned one from when it was new. The ones I started out with had the black rubber gaskets. As early as a 65 HP273 in 69. THey could have been cork originally.
Holy crap want the oil burner looked at since we cant really do the coal anymore. 165 the first hour that included travel then 145 ph after that!

Off center a bit

Good Morning Gang. Little bit of a slow start here myself today. Getting ready for my workout. Then some breakfast, then back on the Harley to get it running.
Mike, is that a legit cigar? Or is it filled with something else?
