ahh, he probably used an air grinder and hopefuly a soft disc and removed the stubborn gasket, not what I would have done, but as long as he uses a stock style headgasket he should be fine. I'd also reccommend coating it with "Copper Spray" which you can get at your local parts store.

Yes I did use an air grinder with a very very very soft disk. I have cork like plugs that block off all the holes in the block so that nothing gets in. Yes there was a stock head gasket in there and yes I already used that copper spray a gaket. I love that stuff!! I will try the zip tie trick. Right now i was just trying to line up the marks on the bench. I will make it work thank you
