OK, I have discussed the issue with Magnus Karlsson, and we came to the
conclution that I have been given sealing strips for a 4 cylinder
engine. The 4 cylinder engine uses strips that are approximately 10 mm
diameter, while the 6 cylinder engine needs them to be some 7,5 mm. I
ended up reusing my old ones.
Will take it up with the company I bought the gasket set from.
