These can sometimes be a bear to get them them to seal correctly. I really had to work at it. Here's my tips:
- Clean the surfaces really well. I use a small screwdriver to get all the old silicone out of the crevacises in the front cover and the rear cap.
When you look at the gasket, you'll see a nub at each corner that fits in the holes in the front cover and rear cap - the ones you have to dig the silicone out of. Cut about 1mm off the end, and round off the corners.
Put a dab of silicone in each corner, and a light smear everywhere else. Do the same on the pan. Don't go overboard. Too much will spooge into the pan, and clog the pick up. I always use Permatex Black Magic.
Let the silicone set up for about 10 minutes. Then it will act like glue and hold the gasket in place while you get the pan up there.
Get two 1/4" x 1.5" bolts. Cut the heads off. Cut a screwdriver slot in the end. Use them as mounting studs to guide the pan into place without making a mess with the goo.
