I would like to thank all who responded
You were right the surfaces were cupped. Got out the big file and now they
are parallel and seal nicely. Just have to wait for the fibrous donuts to come
in tomorrow.
I do have a question. Are the pipe clamps at the front and rear of the engine
still
avaible/who would have them if you know off hand?
Thanks again for your help.
