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?

Are the small thick ones for between the cylinders and the case? You don't have to run a seal between the head and the cylinder. In fact it's often recommended to be left out. Compression bump!

See if those are between the case to cylinder, not the cylinder to head.

Sorry about the BFH reply. Seemed to fit the post at the time.

Do not use a a headgasket as they leak. Lap the cylinders into the head with valve lapping compound.

Lapping is the tight mating of surfaces, by leveling those surfaces with friction created between (the parts).

I'm out of my place, but it's like a heavy cut compound, sounds like.
