[DeTomaso] safety wire ZF-2

[Garth Rodericks]

Those were the instructions I received from Hall Pantera when I purchased the gaskets. They are "paper thin" (no pun intended), and I believe the soaking overnight is to allow the gaskets to swell, and then conform exactly to the gasket surfaces as the cover is torqued onto the case.

I contemplated using the Yamabond, but had already purchased the gaskets so decided to use them.
