066 with low compression

[Mastermind]

I've had the cylinder off my 064 50 times and have never changed the gasket.
It's a piece of metal, if it was fiber I would change it.
Trying different things and having the cylinder on and off the sealor is a pain.

50 times? No ****? Why in God's name?

I've had it for 25 years and it's the saw it learned to port on plus my guinea pig. It's had 15 or more cylinders on it. Bn rode hard and put up wet the whole time and 2 weeks ago split the cases for the first time,it's tough as any I've cn.

To see how many times it takes to ruin a gasket.

I don't put a new gasket on every time either, unless the black coating is coming off or its bent

I bet that gasket has 50 more in it, hell I'm taking the cylinder off right now just to add another one to the total.

Gold!

Remind me to never start an oil thread or say I re-use gaskets

I didn't bother changing the gasket when I pulled the jug and it still seems to work fine

Is there any way to ID the manufacturer of an aftermarket jug or piston?
Old mate I bought it off "cant remember"

I reuse the rubber coated base gaskets a lot too. Once........

I was looking at some stuff on line today and recognized the gasket that was under the muffler on my 066
It was a new metal gasket and after I filed it out to match the exhaust port, it didnt seal very well.
It is the gasket I see listed with the Hyway kits


I recon that's the one
