Cosworth Small turbo cam cover gasket. Im retarded im sure but it no look right!!
Ok yes im retarded but i need to ask a stupid question as im still relatively new to cossies. now the pic below is a ST cam cover and a gasket.
Now why the huge overlap bit at cam spocket end???
I know the halfmoons seal off the cam cover so why the overlay??? can i scissor it off???

they help keep the gasket in place while tightening the cover down, then snap the excess off when you've finished the job..

yes so just cut it off before you fit it and don't forget to put some sealer where the half moons meet that gasket.
