Geoff,
I'm getting ready to reassemble my Franklin engine. Did you use silk
thread on the case? When I disassembled, I saw no sign of any silk
thread. Did your engine have silk thread when you disassembled? Is it
easy to spot? A friend has recommended a sealant used on motorcycle
engines and I'm considering that.
Thanks,
John
