That is my understanding as well. If I were to attempt a solution, would adding a thin sheet of metal to the piece that comes with the Mr Gasket gaskets, maybe sticking the metal pieces together with the High Temp red silicone and then putting them in place where they normally go, with the "button" of the supplied metal piece centered in the hole of the gasket as designed work?
Or??
I don't want to fill in the heat port..yet..in case it causes more problems like Kenth suggested.
