Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts....I sent my Ross PSRU to Dave Mix for him
to do the modification to
add the thrust bearing. He needs to know the thickness of the gasket
that goes between the Ross
bellhousing casting and the smaller casting that holds the planetary
gears (with the 12 allan head
capscrews).  Mine didn't have a gasket when I took it apart. Should
there be one?  If so, what
thickness might it be, or do you just use silicone sealant? Thanks so
much for your information
and replies.  Paul Conner

Paul, mine came assembled with red silicon gasket material and that is what
I have used on the many disassemblies and reassemblies and never had a leak
from that area.
