what gives...I ordered the 1.7 gasket kit from pelican, received it last night, and it is supposedly the 1.7 as stated on the package. So I am putting the gaskets in the head and the rings do not fucking FIT!!!!!there are two different sizes, one which is about 1.5 too big in diameter, but I believe is the the correct thickness, the other which is much smaller and thicker. Question is, they should just slid right in and be snug right? Or do they have to be forced? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) or did they give me 1.8 or 2.0 gaskets?
