Gasket advice needed please!

[muks]

Hi guys,

I'm rebuilding my top end, and I always put a light smear of oil on my paper gaskets and have done so on my base gasket, the gasket between the cases and the jugs. Now the question I have is that I haven't been able to borrow my mates cam chain riveter as quickly as I wanted so haven't been able to torque down the top end, I imagine my gasket has swelled somewhat from the light oiling. It might be a while before I get the chain riveter and am able to rivet the cam chain and button it all up.

Will the gasket be okay, when I finally get chance to torque up? Or shall I use a new one, I don't want to button it up and then find it not sealing properly.

Thanks a lot for the advice

I personally think it'll be alright. But just asking the question.

You can just as easily remove it all when ready to rivet and install a new one anyway, if it worries you that much
