55+ years of doing it wrong with zero issues and I figured my system out myself so try to educate what works from experience not what Joe blow ways or some no engine building engineer wrote on a piece of paper. I’ve built hundreds of engines from flatheads to race engines at the highest levels in the world. I’ll stick with what I know works. Best gaskets must be ripping me off not putting that note in the gasket sets I buy from them but that’s okay I believe I’ve got this. 😁
