Hi,

I am reassembling my 1.9L engine out of my '84 westy and am looking
for a few gaskets that did not come in my engine gasket set.

The first one is called, according to ETKA, the "oil thrower sealing
washer".
This goes on the pulley end of the crankshaft just outside of the #4
main bearing
and the "oil thrower".  I have my old one and it looks a lot like an
o-ring but is
somewhat squashed so that the cross section is not circular but more oval.
Does anyone know if I can just use an o-ring here?  If not, where can I get
an "oil thrower sealing washer"?

The other one is the sealing washer for the pilot bearing in the
flywheel end
of the crankshaft.  On Type-1 engines I have worked with, this was sort of
a felt o-ring.  Can I use a Type-1 pilot bearing sealing washer in this
application?

Speaking of o-rings, are there special, oil proof, o-rings to use in
automotive
engine applications?

Thank for any info,
