I read the FAQ since I had requested it when this came up a week or so back and was under the impression that I was all set with this... I guess not. I'll have to check the gasket set carefully, but if you're sure it's not the right ones in there, I might as well pick up two of those as well... My engine is the one that came with the car, but I know it has been taken apart in the past -- at least the top end. The manifold gaskets I took out on disassembly were the metal ones. Also, one other question -- the old cylinders were seated against the case with some kind of orange gasket sealer. Was that factory?
