Now committed to a full engine rebuild, I went in search of a gasket set. And sure enough I found someone out there who makes gasket sets for old motorbikes. Of course there is! I often wonder what it might have been like to do a project like with without the use of the internet (and then my mind usually wanders to the next question..... what will it be like to do a project like this in say 25 years time, when [internet] technology might have evolved into something we cannot even begin to imagine!)I noticed on the Klamotte website that they sold gasket set for DKW Hobby engines but there was no mention of Manurhin. As I wasn't sure if there might be some subtle differences, I emailed them to ask if the Hobby Gaskets would suit my Manurhin.
Their response? "Hello, I´m sorry, but I don`t know this engine"
Really!??
Fortunately, fellow Manurhin owner, Roy, had already told me that this gasket set was suitable so I went ahead and ordered anyway.
So, for 21 Euros plus 4 Euros shipping, I now have a engine gasket set. Just got to get those bearing changed now and it can all go back together
