Should it be cemented on or put on dry :?
Cheers
Andy
P.S. the replacement gasket is of the none re-torque type if that makes a differance

Though there is 2 types of gasket, cant remember the details of it at the mo though.

Edited...
Just found a little piece on the book,

"If a copper-asbestos gasket is being used, smear clean engine oil on the cylinder block and cylinder head gasket joint faces"

Just to confuse matters

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
