The pressed cardboard is the correct item. It is not a cheep
alternative, and it makes an extreamly good seel. You may wan't to take
out any deep scrapes in the surface that the gasket couldent seal with
an abraisave paper of some kind.
Death to all who use sealant, it is horible stuff. Looking for dribbles
of selant is the best way of telling if an engin has been bodged.
Normaly selant is used so that bodger does not have to buy a new
gasguet. If you have ever stripped down an engin with it in you will
know why I don't like it. All thoes littel drips of seelant going
inside you engin, mabe braking off and clogging up your oil ways. It's
also a pain to clean it off again when you come to re-assemble it.
