I cut gaskets today, aren’t they pretty?

The engine isn’t ready to go back together yet, still waiting on a few parts. I also need to bore out the case to accept the large diameter of the meceur kit. I can’t really roll on anything else until I get this bad boy back together, so I’d best get on it.
Also, I don’t know about you, but I always hated making bolt holes through gaskets. It was the number one way I’d fuck up the piece I had just spent half an hour cutting. Not anymore! I bought this hollow punch set at Bargin Supply and am in love. You pick the appropriate size punch, line it up, and smack it with a hammer. Instant perfect hole. Amazing!

gasket punches are sooooo good.
but the look of those gasket…
haha
