Hey all,
I ordered a new fibre washer for the overdrive drain plug from Moss and the fit leaves a lot to be desired. Because it has to fit over the threads to get past the threads, the ID is too large once it seats against the base of the plug so a wobbly fit. Getting fluid loss - OMG, on a Healey - but would like to eliminate at least one oil leak. Has anyone tried one of the oil and gas resistant gasket products in this application ? When I rebuilt part of the OD unit used a permatex product that sealed up the side plate where the accumulator spring goes and never had any issue with leaks. Thinking this same type of product might work on the drain plug. Thoughts or suggestions ???
Thanks
Mike
