Bob is ABSOLUTELY correct.  I learned the hard way myself with an Exon 
Valdez imitation, only mine was on the road.  When I finally realized I 
had a problem it was on hitting the gas on the up grade side on the 
Tacoma Narrows bridge and having the ominous rod clatter emanate from 
the engine.  By the time we got the TD towed off the bridge, I had 
traffic backed up some 10 miles.  I went back to the situation I had 
before restoring my car, put the thin gasket in and got it seated 
correctly and then leave it there as long as it doesn't leak.  Prior to 
restoring the car, I had some 60,000 miles on the original gasket with 
no leaks.  It too, was hard as a rock, but still sealing perfectly well.

Cheers,
Dave
