Leaky C4

[pinenuts]

I have long had a problem with my C4 leaking. I have a B&M aluminum pan, and it appears to be leaking around one of the pan bolts. Can anyone recommend a good gasket? Can I use a little silicon on the gasket. Any help would be much appreciated.

Why didnt you post this in the tech forum? I think that most of who can help you are over there reading posts.

In answer to your question. Try a cork gasket, and coat the surfaces with gaskacinch and let it dry to a haze before installing the gasket and tightening the bolts. Use a speed handle if you have one and dont overtighten. Its more important to get the bolts evenly torqued rather than super tight.
