Sacha- Never use any of the RTV sealants with a cork/rubber gasket. The RTV will cause the gasket to crumble later on. I think the solvent in the RTV dissolves the latex.

From: Sacha Bill Thank you. I'm not sure what RTV is. I used some red stuff which I thought was for engine gaskets. I think Motorsil was the brand. Anyway just to be sure I'll remove it as it serves no useful purpose.

That said I find 18.5 ft/lbs a little too much and makes removal a little too hard. That is one reason why the old style with the #40 Torx head stripped out, not ot mention some didn't seat the driver all the way to the bottom of the plug before they applied pressure to unscrew it. The whole idea is to tighten the plug so it won't leak or back out. I usually use less torque and it is secured on top of the torque with safety wire. I have never had one loosen in all my years. Try a little less torque it will work just fine. > > -------- > Roger Lee > Tucson, Az. > Light Sport Repairman - Maintenance Rated > Rotax Repair Center - Heavy Maint.
