The only way to go
The way to go on shovels. Replaced the cheap blue teflon gaskets with these and have been good so far, torqued again after a heat cycle.

Head Gasket Replacement
So far the gaskets are holding up. The main thing to do is don't buy the cheaper gaskets, and warm it up good,let cool and check the torque. Do this after each use until all you get is clicks, no movement.<br />You need the offset short torquing<br />Tool to get access to the head bolts.
