Rescue Cub in Brazil

[k hutchins]

I know it's not bolted on yet, but l noticed your valve cover in the pictures is inverted. The high side should be facing out.
You're making great progress. I'm interested to see how you are going to repair the rusted out fuel tank.
Keep going, you must have a great passion for this work

I think the valve cover is on correctly...

[Don McCombs]

Not to beat a dead horse, but two of the three are correct. The last one is incorrect. But, since it’s not bolted on, I’m sure that Stephane will get it correct in the final assembly.

Oops! You guys are right!
Never even looked at that photo...

The thickness of the oil pump gasket is critical in order to have oil pressure. It should be paper thin as shown on TM's site :

The one in your picture looks to be too thick.

Stephane I think you are learning all about a Cub. And I think you will be able to help your friend with his Cub.
Good luck with it.
