Hello all,

There appears to be a slight weeping from the bottom copper crush washer/gasket on my TR1.

It is part number 90430-15169 on the diagram.

Should I replace it with an original item or would a normal copper washer do the trick?

I can get them locally for 3.95 EUR each. Should I replace all 3 or just the bottom one?

Any help is welcome.

Best Regards,
Evros

Unless they are scarred or otherwise visibly damaged, you can simply anneal them with a blow torch and they should seal just fine.

Cheers,
Greg

I'll take them out and have a look.

I thought that owing to their special shape annealing would have no effect.

I am contemplating to widen the banjo bolt hold and possibly to upgrade the oil pump but not too sure on it.

I also have to check the oil grade for Cyprus.

Thank you for replying.

Dear Evripidis,
the original Gaskets 90430-15169 (Pos. 21) and the lager one 90430-17168 (Pos.19) are spezial Gaskets which allow Oil pass thru.

Question: How often do you want to remove that Screw?  Take care and use the original ones. AND always change the complete set.
In this case all 3 gaskets !

Have a look at ebay. Several overs there.

Best Regards
Anja

Thank you Anja.

I might take these out and re-tighten. I'll try annealling them while at it.

Probably read aroung a bit for the banjo bolt hole size etc.

Some youtube videos mention the knowledge found on this forum.
