gaskets for BRAJE accessories
|
where can I pick up the cork gaskets for the Braje valve cover, water jackets, and oil pan? Through Braje himself or does the venters reproduce these? Thanks

Standard gaskets for a cast-iron engine work fine for the valve cover and side plates, I assume the pan gaskets works also but never owned one of those to try.

If this is a race application, the Braje sumps are usually run without a gasket. The idea is to make the lower end more rigid, and a cork gasket interferes with this. Use a silicone sealer on the crankcase/sump joint.

PERFECT! Thanks Dale, it’s not for race application. and regarding the strange oil filter- i found a bunch of CUNO oil filters on ebay that look just like it.

I beg to differ. If you run it without a pan gasket the rear main cork will split in two when you tighten it and then a big oil leak. Nick told me how to install the pan gasket and what to use on the front and rear corks.

I recently sold my Hmod. The car had done 54 race events without a failure of the rear cork seal. All were done with a Braje sump without a gasket, except the first four events. In the first four events I was running an engine prepared by Bob Graham, and it broke a valve—very spectacular cloud of smoke and steam. I no longer use Crosley valves.
If I were to be concerned about the rear strip of cork breaking, I would substitute a thin strip of rubber (still with silicone sealer).
Since selling my Hmod, I have been racing a Saab powered ESR. I just completed (mostly) a new Hmod which puts me back racing with Crosley power. Other than a small strip of cork at the rear seal, the only cork gasket is under the cam cover. Not to open another can of worms, but I don’t use gaskets under the side covers, either.
