BMC 1.5 side cover gaskets


Featured Posts

We've got an oil leak round the side cover gaskets on our BMC 1.5.  They were last changed over 10 years ago as far as we know.

 

Looking for replacements we've found 4mm Cork , or 6.5mm Rubber but not sure which ones we should use. I suspect we have cork ones on.

 

Is this down to bolt lengths or do the rubber ones squish more?

I think silicon rubber is a very modern type produced because the things always leaked. I would use rubber but I would stick them to the cover and let the sealer/glue set before fitting them to the engine. Both types can squish out of place easily.
