| If you want to change gaskets, I have a copper/tanged (say it tan) graphite gasket I dont have much use for. It can handle more pressure than a standard copper gasket and it seals better around the oil and water passages because of the tanged graphite. It is worth about $290 (the graphite is very expensive) but I got it for cheap, so if you want it I would sell it for less. If you want it, make an offer (all offers considered). |

Sounds good. But before I get to that stage, I will see if the latest fix has worked, and at least try to find the reason for it not sealing. I will keep it in mind though as changing gaskets will be on the list of things to try.
