Re: [T3] Distributor and breather box questions

["Daniel Baum" <daniel@type34.info>]

<x-flowed>This thread made me realise that I'd never taken the breather stand off to 
see if everything was there underneath, so I did it this morning.

Everything was there but it was all stuck together with what looked like 
very elderly silicone sealant. Is this really necessary? It was a big mess 
and I had to scrape it and the gaskets off with a very sharp knife.

I now want to put everything back together with new gaskets and a new baffle 
plate. Should you stick the gaskets on, or would it be a good idea to just 
to put some grease on them (which works really well, BTW to stop the valve 
cover gaskets from leaking)?
My preference would be to use nothing at all, like with the oil drain plate. 
If that doesn't leak with just two gaskets, I don't see why this should.
