If you take those paper gaskets and soak them overnight in water, install them wet, they won't leak anymore.




I've heard of that...but..I think it depends on whose gaskets.....one fellow I know used a brand X gasket and they were pretty well mush when he went to get them in the morning after an overnight soak!!

A good felpro 1414 for a big block and some Ultra-Copper RTV and you'll usually be good to go for a long time.
Give the bolts a nudge after about 10 runs or so.
