the pan gasket for the 48 CJ2A was good quality, cleanly cut and fit as perfectly as one would expect. Except one small detail: It is only about half as thick as an old Victor! This was a small problem, easily remedied. You use a die grinder and cutoff wheel to cut off a bottom protrusion from the front plate which cuts into the gasket. This cut into the old Victor gasket and it held for a long time, but if you prune off that extra steel, the new gasket holds just as good. Use a little black Permatex RTV sealer at this three-sided joint.
