I need to resurrect this thread...

Cliff, do you double-up that cork gasket to get the needed thickness?

The cork sheets are 1/2 the thickness of the cork supplied in the Felpro gasket kits. And with the Butler 1-piece torqued down I still have a gap of about 7/32".

Do you glue the cork using silicone gasket maker, or some other glue like Gorilla Glue?

I realize the Butler 1-Piece is thicker than the Felpro black gasket and the Felpro cork gasket so that might explain the gap. (I have all 3 types at my disposal)
