Unless you oring the block it will never hold. you cant just slap one on. it is a sensitive job at best and requires that you anneal the gasket and use a diferent technique to torque it. head must be square of course. Mine is holding but the first pass let go at 3k miles. a mere inspection of a useed gasket will show you how much scuffing occurs as head shifts slightly. o-ringing the block prevents combustion pressures from blowing through scuffed up sealer by providing an extremely hi pressure contact zone. the cost should not be more than 80 or so $. a set of copper exhaust gaskets is the best idea yet. again though hand annealing is part of the process.
