Weinman B5295-L13 Lexide Case Gasket for 2SC
The Weinman B5295-L13 is a cut case gasket for 2SC pumps. Its thickness also sets the spacing across the joint, so it is doing two jobs at once: sealing, and holding the clearance the pump was built around.
Gaskets fail by drying out, by being over-compressed, and by blowing out under pressure where the clamping load is uneven. The first sign is a damp line along the joint that wipes clean and then comes back. Left alone, a weep becomes a wash that strips paint and rusts fasteners into place, which turns the next service into a much bigger job.
Thickness matters as much as the outline. The gasket sets the axial gap across the joint, so substituting a thicker or thinner sheet can change internal clearances and, in some housings, the running clearance to the impeller. Use the Weinman part rather than something cut from stock sheet, and confirm the pump is a 2SC model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I cut my own from sheet material?
You can make something that holds pressure, but you will be guessing at thickness and compressibility. Since the thickness sets the spacing across the joint, a home-cut replacement can alter internal clearances in ways that only show up as lost performance.
Q: Should the bolts be retightened after the pump has run?
Check them once the pump has been up to temperature and cooled again. Gaskets relax slightly as they bed in, and a single even re-torque in a cross pattern often settles a joint that was weeping lightly.
Q: The joint still seeps with a new gasket. What now?
Put a straight edge across both faces. A casting that has been prised apart with a screwdriver usually has a burr or a dent on the sealing land, and that has to be dressed flat before any gasket will hold.
Q: How long do these last in normal service?
The gasket usually outlives the parts around it, so most are replaced because something else was opened rather than because they failed. Treat one as a consumable to be renewed whenever the joint is broken.
