Well, I just finished adjusting my valves, and was about to replace the valve cover. I've had one of Justin's gaskets on there and it has been great. However, as far as i can tell it has "grown" about 1/2 inch too long! Quite strange ... see attached. Anyone have contact information for Justin or know if he is still making these gaskets?

Cheers, Mike

They do that, especially when they are warm. Just stuff it back into place (carefully) and it will go on working fine. Some of the racers throw them in an ice chest to cool down and shrink.

I'm not sure what happened to Justin, but he announced he was discontinuing the gaskets some time ago and I've not seen or heard from him since. He may have decided to retire to a different part of the country.

Thanks Randall. It has been sitting all night in cool garage already ... maybe I'll sneak it into the freezer for a little while to try cooling it that way. Cheers, Mike
