Hi Guys
The gasket on my DR's cam chain tensioner started leaking oil.
I've now taken the tensioner out and taken the old gasket off.  (Thanks to youtube videos! That old gasket is a BITCH to get off.)
My question is what thickness gasket maker should I use? DieselDave gave me two pieces of gasket maker paper, one is called Flexoid and it's says 1.5mm, the other one does not have a thickness, but is a bit thinner.
Will the thickness that I use matter?
Thanks
Leon
