No need to change the gasket each time. Clean and re-use for a loonnnngggg time. My '79 has the original.

Either garage is too small or we have too many bikes. Or Momma's car needs to go outside.

I have a few gaskets slightly used but in good shape and no pinch. Will give it a shot as soon I have an opportunity

Now that I remember, I had used that hondabond ht when I was putting the gasket so it would stick while assembling. Could hat have caused some gaps between cover and gasket ?
