Hey guys,
Quick question....
I have an '87 cylinder, and a Cool Head. Putting this thing back together, and the gasket kit came with a head gasket, which is metal, and the holes in it are much, much smaller than the actual port holes in the cylinder and head. It's been four years since this thing was torn apart, but I seem to recall a paper style gasket for the cylinder head, instead of this metal one.
What do you guys recommend? Use what I got? Or get a paper one and enlarge the coolant port holes in that gasket to match the cylinder/head.
Thanks.
