I did not want to annoy DennyW because he has been very helpful in other matters, BUT(!) there are several kinds of gaskets. I guess (?) the gaskets he wants to double up after soaking in hot water are the all fiber type????? A circle track racer recommended the type with a perforated metal surface on one side and fiber on the other. Then there are expensive ($35/set) aluminum gaskets that run the full length of the head. I would buy the aluminum gaskets if I was sure they would seal, but for now I guess I will use a set of the fiber ones over the metalized ones for a double deal after soaking. DennyW, can you be more specific about the type gasket you recommend soaking?
