I've started changing out my gaskets on the 2.0 before I put everything back together and have a question. One of the copper gaskets has 'twisted". I'm not sure why...the manifold went on straight and I torqued it down in sequence. Will this seal or should it be replaced?

That should be replaced.

Btw did you anneal those gaskets before installing them? It helps them seal better.

No...must have missed that. Please define the process?

Heat them up with a torch until red hot and let them cool. It softens the copper up.

Take a torch and soften the copper gasket a little bit before putting it on.

If the gasket is in the recess in the head, and the pipe is on the gasket, it should be fine.
