These gaskets have been around for years!!
You can get a s/hand head and throw it on and have no probs or you could throw it on and need to take it straight off again.
Also machining the head gives nice fine grooves to get max sealing..:thumbsup:

Always check the level when cold, cause the water is pushed into the overflow as it gets heated and drawn back in when cooling..:thumbsup:

Get a big plastic sheet and put it on the floor when u've finished with the car , push it up under the heater box and if u get green drips on it it's leaking.
Green if u've got green coolant that is...
