Hi guys,
I am currently in the process of replacing the sprag clutch on my Classic 2010. While waiting for the new part from our host, I have disassmbled the LH cover and removed the old and broken sprag clutch.
My question: when I removed the cover, I detected that there was no gasket, only some kind of silicon. Since I already have bought a complete set of new gaskets from our host, I plan to use a gasket when putting it al together again. Hovever, is it enough with the gasket (possibly wetted with some grease) or should I cover all surfaces (gasket´s both sides and the two mating metal surfaces) with Hylomar or similar? I have studied several threads in this forum as well as other sources, but it would be wrong to say that I get a clear and concise opinion.... I don´t want to glue it all together so that it will be impossible to re-open at some point in time.
What´s your view, what is suitable for a RE UCE engine?
Best regards,
Gunnar
