I recently (2 weeks ago) switched out the OEM felt gasket for Ron’s Rutland. I followed his paper instructions and watched a couple videos that also followed his instructions. I would like to believe that smoke should not be coming from the lip. Also, the Permatex Ultra Copper has turned to dust on the inside edge.
