Are the gaskets supposed to be wide enogh to completely fill the recesses milled into block or are they narrower?
Reason I ask is my engine's been leaking oil & the most likely suspect is the cooler. I pulled it off today & found what look like a couple of pieces of rubber hose a lot narrower than the recesses that have definately been sitting in the bore holes on an angle.
So before I go see the last "professional" "mechanic" to work on it I want to know if this is going to be justifiable homicide.
Thanks,
