Just bought a gasket overhaul kit for a 1600 T/P and although I know that they supply gaskets and seals for most engine sizes in the kit, what is the about 50mm O ring for ? also there are six thick O rings about 13mm dia.
there is a seal / oring type about 25mm and while I am in asking mode two black rubbers about 10mm high about 10 mm outside with about an 8mm bore and four browny colour 12mm outside dia 8 mm bore and about 8 mm high.
I have fitted a new set of barrels and pistons and new heads to my twin port but havent seen these items any were in my travels, also about to do the rear main seal, do 1600 T/P have a oring in the inside bore of the flywheel? any help appreciated
Cheers

the 50mm goes in the flywheel

the 13mm are for the 6 crancase center bolts
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Browny colour or white (depending on supplier of engine set)may be the rocker shaft seals for the 40hp
