Re: Brake Drum Paint
I painted my Lincoln brakes with Rustoleum black paint-brushed on. I think high temp engine paint from a spray can would be better.

Re: 8ba oil pump question
How do you adjust for the thickness of the gasket when using the .008 in. clearance?
A piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper stock is about .005. Would that be ok to use as a gasket?
Thanks.
