djr_austin Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm in the US suffering from a lack of local parts supply :-( . Working on an oil filter change I damaged the flywheel cover gasket. Its going to take 8 days to get one shipped from the UK. Several questions: - Does anyone know the correct gasket type if I want to try and cut one from sheet (thickness and type)? - Anyone in the US got a better supply channel than overseas shipment (my usual group of providers don't seem to stock it)? - Anyone tried to use one of the silicon goo product to fix something like this?

sportsawyer Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Check with nearby Honda dealers. If there's one that's sold some 4RTs, they may have one in stock. Otherwise they can order one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Have you tried Dennis At Overlandhttp://www.overlandtrail.biz. Edited August 24, 2017 by lineaway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thall1 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 you could try looking for one to fit a CRF engine....its the same basic engine...just give the part number to any Honda dealer..dont tell them its a montesa , just ask for the gasket...pt no 11395-nn4-000...they usually break where the triangle shaped wire grommet fits...if that's where its broken, or anywhere else for that matter, ive used flexible engine gasket sealant in the past and it works fine...

thall1 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 sorry forgot to say ive used the sealant on the break to seal it rather than use sealant instead of the gasket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke4stroke Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 If you grease the gasket before use there's a better chance of it not tearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Darran Yep, Dennis at Overland, located in PA. As everyone notes, great guy to do business with. Order extra gaskets for the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomickey Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I called Motoworld of El Cajon. They had them plus a lot of other 4RT parts in stock. Jared Malmquist and Scott Clark are excellent sources of info. 619 971 3471. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
