Split base gasket

[kwaka]

Hi, After installing my base gasket and getting 2 pistons into the barrels i've noticed a split in my base gasket . It's gone through half the width of the gasket only in line with the centre of one cylinder. What do you reckon, does it need replacing or should i use a bit of gasket glue?

I would be more pissed if i put it together then it leaked,chances are it wont leak with a bit of red on the split.But to be sure fit a new base,I would. good luck

what a pisser
you could go the goo goo muck and crossed fingers route and hope it dont go tits up.
I personally would growl a few times stomp about and a new gasket.
saves posssible later

Thanks fellas, i suppose i better replace it and save the possibility of tears later. Just means i'll have to wait another 2 weeks for shipping and about $50.00 lighter .
