Hi Chris,

Oh but that it was that easy. The gasket is made of metal of some sort. Looks a bit like aluminum but I am not sure.

It is subject to the heat of the engine head and the coolant and I assume Volvo had a reason for picking this type of gasket. But the other head-to-housing gasket is a simple paper type.

I have some high temp gasket cement and I will probably go with the old gasket and a healthy dose of cement.

Thanks for you input.

Bob
