I pulled apart one of my auxilliary housings and did not find a ball style check valve so I guess I have the plunger type. The hole is visible inside so the sleeve has not moved down and covered the hole. I measured the thickness of the original gasket and it measures 0.007 inch. I got out the new gasket from my gasket kit and it also measures 0,007 inch. I would think it would be prudent to install a slightly thinner gasket if I reuse all the parts. Everything looks in very good condition. Is there any reason to change out the parts if everything is in good shape. I was thinking of getting a gasket that is 0.006" or 0.005" and see if everything still works good. I can get several different size gaskets and see what works best. I can start with the 0.007" and if my oil pressure is too low go to a smaller size and see if that helps. How can I tell what is correct without all the guesswork?
