Does the clear film provide any better traction for walking on without slipping ? What ratio do you have with the new drives?

I haven`t noticed any different traction. The color seems a little "deeper" besides that you`d never know it was there .

1.53 according to speed/rpm. Old ratio was 1.49.

Pressure was fine at low rpm but started to decrease after 3500. Now it`s obvious why .

I`ve used the one piece gaskets in the past and those damn things leaked. Tried the cork, no leaks but then this so this time I`ll go:
