Hi, I removed the Amal 376/5 from my AJS 16m to clean it. It had an O ring and gasket fitted on the same face. This is the first time I have removed it from the engine, so the O ring and gasket was fitted by the previous owner(s). I ordered an Amal gasket set and it states "Do not use O ring and gasket on same joint surface so I am not sure how to proceed?
Can any one help me please?
Thanks
Simon

Re: Amal 376/5 O ring or not?
if you have a O ring you dont need the gasket , The O ring is designed to seat against the cylinder head or spacer if fitted
Generally gaskets are between spacer and head if fitted
