Try to find one thats all one piece. I'm not sure if they make one or not, if not, it would be a good idea.

If you can't find one, then dont get one of the cork ones, get the one thats kinda rubbery from Fel-Pro.

Also clean the mating surfaces as good as you can, then use some gasket tack to make sure it doesnt move around on you while your installing it. And use a little bit of silicone in the corners where the the gaskets meet.

Are you doing it with the motor in the car? If so, our prayers are with you, and have fun!
