Golden or Gold

[Sidcar]

My mag's ready and should be back by Friday. Nice little job for the week end. I've been working my round the bike checking it over. The rear wheel has a slight amount of play in the bearings and more than one or two loose spokes. Not really desirable on a sidecar outfit so I think that will be coming out in the near future (But not before I've road tested the mag, hope it's sunny Sunday)
Another question. Timing cover, paper gasket or rtv sealer?

Gasket and sealer.

Mine seals very nicely with a gasket coated with a thin smear of grease.

It depends on the condition/flatness of both mating surfaces but, if you don't want to have to take it off again if it does leak, play safe and add a little sealer.

Mag refitted, used sealer, and it starts a treat. I'm trying to true up the rear wheel after which I look forward to a good long road test.
