thanks i cleaned the gasket that i put on two days ago. i had smeared permatex no 1 form a gasket on bothe sides and boy does it stick..the paper gasket is shredded. took off due to bolts were stripping. the four 10 mm head ones werent grabbing 17 lbs torque. studs would work fine or helicoil. now i need a water pump gasket. also i found the water pipe. the new o ring in kit is not as fat as old one. and i found 2 gaskets in thermosat housing and the gasket that is between the housing and block. they are metal gaskets. should i put paper ones in my kit in there or reuse metal ones? they dont have no sealant and look ok. and should i use sealant on the o ring? and still i have another larger o ring in the kit that i do not know where it goes.
