Y'all talking bout the cork there, too. I do have a piece of cork in my kit that is the exact width of the main cap groove, is thicker than the rubber gaskets and is a bit longer than is needed to go there. It's not as wide as the cork I've seen the pics. Kinda confused there.
If your rear main cap has a groove in it the cork seal you have will work you should trim it carefully to the correct length my rear main cap did not have a groove in it so I bought a piece of 3/16 rubber impregnated cork and made my own seal it’s probably around an inch or more wide. And worked perfectly not leaks at all got a couple hundred miles on it now.
