Please explain what makes this gasket better. About ten years ago, I pulled my 340 for a complete paint job. While it was out, I painted the motor. I also replaced the thermostat to try and get rid of an irritating dribbling leak. The leak got worse. I tried several gaskets a changed types and amounts of sealer. I then bought a new chrome housing. BIG mistake, it leaked worse. Finally, I bought a Billet Specialties housing with an O ring. Problem solved, leak gone. So I am curious what is different about this gasket. BTW, I was dealing with an Air Gap intake. I even tried carefully block sanding the mounting surfaces.
