Tommy Posted August 18, 2016 Report Posted August 18, 2016 Ok looks my vaccum pump has died. Now the shop reaplcing the vaccum is currently doing a mess of job trying to rust prevent my plane with fresh W100plus oil! They are having difficulty getting the gasket to seal the oil valley that used to channel the oil for the wet type of vaccum pump Is there a much better way of plugging that hole permanently? Thanks guys!

Thanks guys! You don't say what kind of vacuum pump. I will say this though in an effort to be helpful, some of the vacuum pump manufacturers provide their own specific gasket for their pumps (e.g. Tempest. if that applies to your pump, make sure they are using the correct gasket and not the generic part number.
Tommy Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Posted August 18, 2016 Yes that was the problem The first junior mechanic didn't use the right gasket... Thanks!
