The gaskets came from Olsen’s.

Maybe I don’t need the gasket just some gum gum ?

This picture shows insert left in and new gasket

What would you do ? my exhaust manifold has some inserts in the end which line it up with the engine block. I have brought some new gaskets to go between manifold and engine. should I remove the inserts or leave them in?

The sump, note somebody has added a dipstick, which was to long.

Rebuilt, checked oil pump today. All working ok. reassembled on to car. Then I noticed the small holes in the cross pipe are facing downwards! This part looks newer, guessing someone has had a go in the past. Am I right in thinking these holes should face inwards/upwards to spray oil onto bearings? Whats the point of spraying oil downwards into the sump. Can I just drill some new holes on the top side?

Thanks guys, so what do I ask for ? mild steel bolts ? or Stainless ?

Great advise thank you. Yes I have a new gasket and intend to put copper gasket Sealant on it. I think my bolts are 100 years old and soft. If I replace them what should they be, High tensile steel..?

Just rebuilding my 1923 Buick engine, do I put some sealant (hermatite blue) on the head gasket ? There is also a thin 0005 paper like gasket between short cylinder block and crankcase. Should I put sealant on that as well?
