What gasket were you using beforehand?
It might just be a case of buying the G161 gasket and cutting it to suit the G200 block

Yeah get a G200 gasket. But it doesnt matter really aslong as it doesnt protrude into the bores or foul the oil jacket. Some on hardcore cars people have the water jackets in the head slightly restricted. Cant remember why though but there is a good and logical reason.
