if your the contact area where the gasket is supposed to seal has a deep gouge or some sort of deformity in it that the gasket can't seal over, then scuff the area up a little and then apply a thin layer of JB-Weld on the surface. After 24 hours sand it till it is smooth and perfectly flat with a metal straight edge. It will last forever, that is great stuff. Good luck.

Whether you think you can or can't, you're right.

Also--in 2004, I invented the spotting alert network in stovebolt after seeing so many trucks when driving around. So that means I am cool.
