Gasket Replacement - Top Dome Sitting Further Than Base
Options
Stoater
Posts: 292
Hi Guys,
I finally got around to replacing my gasket with the nomex replacement the dealer gave me, however now that I have it installed and its all shiny and new I notice that my lid is sitting about a quarter of an inch behind the base, is that normal or should it be flush all the way around? If not which bolts do I adjust to shimmey the lid forward, I will take a photo tomorrow when I have some light. I also lined the ceramic cap with left over gasket which fits absolutely snug, loving that hopefully that will save me some lump. I didn't use the gasket on the base though as some have directed, hope thats alright.
Cheers for any advice.

I keep this video bookmarked for when I have alignment issues. It's 1 of the best at showing what components relate to others as far as positioning, and what to do to get them aligned:

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee -
Thanks Hillbilly that is very helpful, much appreciated.Cheers.

My Egg just ends up with about 1/4" overbite. Meaning the dome sits 1/4" too far back.Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html
