I used the paper gaskets from MiniMania and they fit perfect. I also gave
both sides of the gaskets a liberal coating of "Hylomar" (made by
Permatex/Lock-Tight) and no leaks yet. Of course I also replaced the o-ring
and backing seal too.

        Guys,

        I was told to use engine rebuild sealant.  It is milky white and has

        the texture of hand lotion.  Also, the set that I put on two weeks 
        ago came from M**s and I found that the paper gasket didn't have a 
        very good fit.  They can't even get a simple paper gasket right!  
        Anyway, you will have to enlarge the holes in the paper gasket so 
        that you don't tear it when placing over the studs.

        Dave,

        Personally, I think Copper Coat is all you need.  Both sides, allow
it to
        get "tacky" before use.
