    Gasket or Gasket + sealant??

    Builds  'Little Yellowy' 1982 BJ42 LX build

    Hey guys I thought I'd make a build thread for my new 40. Mainly so I can ask stupid questions and keep a bit of history. I bought this off an old guy who wasn't in the best shape. He had just had a triple bypass and was a bit over his head with his cars. He had three 40 series all in various...
