I'm about to re-attach the rear plate after removing my flywheel to replace the seal and convert to a BJ8 diaphragm clutch. Have a couple of questions, which I'd like getting experience-based answers on:
1)it looks like the only area that even needs sealing at all is the area around the rear camshaft opening. As far as I can tell, everything else is open to the air.
2)it looks as though the mating surface around the cam opening is very flat, as is the plate and therefore I'm thinking spray gasket such as Permatex Copper Spray-a-Gasket would be appropriate. Wonder if anyone's tried this in this area.
3) does anyone know if there's oil here under pressure, or is it just runoff from the cam bearing.
Thanks in advance.
