Chris,
Where is your 97 leaking ? Per chance if the source of the leak/s are at
the 3 plugs under the chin of the bowl I have found in many many cases the nylon
gaskets I use/make will prevent this condition. I've tried cast nylon gaskets but
they seem to be too smooth and too hard. What has worked well for me is to
machine the gaskets from 1/2 dia common nylon round stock. The tooling 'grooves'
on the front and back of the gasket gives the it just enough compression to 'seat'
between the bowl and the plug.
