Have new pan gasket set at the ready, engine on stand and have some concern about the cork gasket for the rear seal and its positioning into the bearing cap groove. Since the cork seal is being applied into a rather small radius as compared to the front seal, my concern is that there might be a chance of the gasket cracking while being bent to this diameter. Have heard various tips about soaking the cork to allow for this maneuver.
Any insight or direction you can afford will surely be appreciated. This somewhat anal curmudgeon would like to have a non oil dripping engine in my Stude, if possible...subjective thinking for sure..
