Using TWO seals to fix leaky 16v distributor ?

[Larry <rocco16v@netzero.com> (T Berk)]

  The easiest fix is a new distributor.  The cheapest fix is a new
distributor shaft seal.  This seal lives under the rotor, beneath a
nice,
shiny steel washer that is staked into the dist body.  Potterman has
'em,
cheap.  It's not that hard to replace the little bugger,  just take your
time.  (If I can do it, you can do it....)

I have read on the water-cooled newsgroup that one fix is to double up
the new gasket with another. 

Any thoughts?
