When I built the car 4 yrs ago I read about the oil from the camshaft, so very purposely inserted the gasket. Minimal dripping from the cotter pin suggests the gasket is doing its job. The flywheel is a new Burtz and the clutch/PP are earlyV8/Chevy for the T5. Per Keith's comments, I can't recall what shims, if any, were used 4 yrs ago under the top ears. The thought of turning the FW 180* is worth trying.
