As a  "quick fix", I found some .020" 'half hard' bare copper wire and
soldered a  ring of it to a composition gasket around each cylinder.  At the
time,  this seemed preferable to having the block re-machined or replaced.
While I  wouldn't necessarily recommend it to others, it worked out very 
well
for  me.  The modified gasket was still holding just fine some 10 years  
later
when the car got wrecked.



I helped a friend who had gasket problems as Randall describes and we  used 
.025" MIG wire.  It made really neat circles and stayed in  place.  Last I 
heard it was running fine.
