What happens when you leave a rocker cover gasket in fuel..

[savage1987]

i think it expanded?
leave it out to dry off and it should shrink back to size.

[Zeussy]

^^^ Yeah, I was thinking that too...

Worth a try!

[VT-565]

it IS worth a try, but i seriously doubt it will return back to it's original size.

[savage1987]

That photo is a bit hard to see but it grew to almost twice its normal size

It's one we don't need anyway so it's all good.

[lil_mickey]

lol... just get a bigger rocker cover... duh...

[Morton]

lmao savage, I'll use that for my V8 rockers ^_^

[savage1987]

yeah it was a bit of a surprise.. pulled it out of the bucket of fuel and paul and i just thought we were tripping out because of the petrol fumes :P

[Calaber]

It'll buff out......

[VT-565]

Put it back in the fuel, see how big it gets.

Maybe it's like one of those dinosaurs or crocodiles you put in water and they grow "700%" their normal size...

[savage1987]

lmao that's an awesome idea. Maybe if I leave it in a bit longer I can use it for a sump gasket . Nobody has one in stock in the area, I wanted to get the motor together today..

if your in a rush try heating it up with a lighter or blow torch, might shrink alot quicker or evaporate totally

lol... just get a bigger rocker cover... duh...

I was feeling weird yesterday draining my transmission oil, couldn't work out why. Then I realised the waste oil pan right beside my head was full of fuel
