[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 91992, member: 1632"] No one has ever mentioned issues in that regards. I don't have cometic gaskets but given the design of the quill I shouldn't think it an issue. The oil enters the quill from the radial holes and exits through the end. The radial holes are in the timing cover and the position of the quill is fixed relative to the timing cover, i.e. you screw it in a snug it up. The oil exit is the hole in the end and that is located well down the central drilling of the main shaft and the length of the quill is such that plenty of the external scroll is located with in the main shaft central drilling. If it were a problem I'm sure that it would have surfaced by now. A quick search (top right of the page) of "quill" brought up ten pages of entries. Non appeared to be about the quill being affected by the gasket. Steven [/QUOTE]
