It's my first time..cleaned all nice..went well laid it on damn near perfect and rtv' d all the right places...just have a tiny bit of nervousness about the ends...never did a gasket or surface with a gap before...and took everyone's word on not useing the Cork...
I've never had an issue with the cork end gaskets, but I've seen the foam type end gaskets pooch in or squirt out after the fact by others. I can see how they could be an issue when surfaces have been remachined.
