Oddly enough I was working on a TR6 motor earlier today. The gasket set
had rubber blocks instead of wood or cork. I prefer the old time wooden
wedges and a can of WellSeal - so it goes.
Whatever material they are a bit of a pain and take more time than you think
to get them installed. As a bit of insurance, a bit of RTV silicone
slathered
on the inside of the joint helps the sealing. I said a "bit" not half a
tube. I've
worked on too many engines where some previous person thought that if a
little is good, more will be better.
