Since I received my motor gasket set I have had the rope gasket soaking in motor oil in anticipation of pulling the pan off and fixing a small leak and checking the bearings. That has been about 3 weeks now, and it may be another week or so before i get to that part of my maintenance.

So, to answer your question, soak the rope in motor oil and as the cork is usually sent long enough to be used on the Model B pan, soak it in water in a tuna can after you have cut it to length.

My wooden nickle worth.
