As a "quick fix", I found some .020" 'half hard' bare copper wire and
soldered a ring of it to a composition gasket around each cylinder. At the
time, this seemed preferable to having the block re-machined or replaced.
While I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to others, it worked out very
well
for me. The modified gasket was still holding just fine some 10 years
later
when the car got wrecked.
I helped a friend who had gasket problems as Randall describes and we used
.025" MIG wire. It made really neat circles and stayed in place. Last I
heard it was running fine.
