hey thanks Pascal.

Already got a warning, but appreciated the heads up.

Would've ended up being a big waste of time if I had used a bike tube.
Even so, an inner tube would've been a last resort.

As it stands, I'm using the old gasket over with some hi temp sealant.
The gasket has no breaks in it.

Neil.
