What did you use to make your block offs?
I put mine together in a bit of a pinch... so, i cut VERY tight fitting rubber plugs, and sealed them up with High temp silicone...
I know that's REALLY not the best way to do it, but time and money was an issue at the time..
I am really VERY surprised it has lasted as long as it has.. ~5k miles... and now its seeping coolant out of the front of the block..
at the moment I have more time than money, so welding/ machining is out of the question... I done so many of these head-gaskets now i can do one in an afternoon...lol
I am going to throw another head gasket in this weekend... so, what have you guys used? and how long have you run it like that?
