That's what I did, I had right stuff. I never used the gaskets in the past, Spray copper or smeared a thin layer of the ultra copper or something like that.
This engine i dropped the parts off to the machinist I've known for 20 years. I just wanted machine work, I wanted to assemble it. I never had an issue with his work, great guy. He talked me into him assembling it and run it on the stand, break in the cam.
