[QUOTE="Raggles, post: 594656, member: 20996"] Mine is the Empi cast iron version. I marked the face up with marker and sanded on glass as suggested ... pretty much took all of the marker off in one go. However, there were radial machining marks on the face and I found that by sanding they faded out at different points - so continued to sand until I had a smooth face with only a remnant of the machining marks in the centre of the cover. Took quite a time. So fingers crossed it sorts the problem. I fitted last night with the thin smear of permatex just wetting the gasket as suggested. I will get the exhaust back on and try firing it up again tonight ... so fingers crossed. thanks again for the input. :D [/QUOTE]
