Cylinder gaskets: Missing, or Not Required -- You be the judge.

Got the Wonderbus's cylinder heads off, am hesitating before removing cylinders from case -- waiting for clarification from RAMVA on Bill Spiliotopoulos's brief statement, "pull the cylinders 1/4" out to seal the joint between the cylinders and the case. Clean the oil remains and apply some Curil T to seal the cylinder bases" before proceeding. (This is in thread "Having Fun and Thanks!"While I ponder my next move, I read in Muir that the surface between the cylinder and the head would be expected to have a copper gasket. And there should be a paper gasket between the cylinder and case.I found no gasket between the head and cylinder, and if there is a gasket between the cylinder and case, it is not visible -- just a bead of some compound.Sign me,Is this normal?

I'll work on a good "pet name."

LOL

It does, it does. I've seen otherwise useful and potentially fun NGs completely ruined by the presence of loudmouthed (loudfingered?) racists and/or homophobes. This group continues to be enjoyable.
