Mine was just the single gasket .060 on each side. Not sure why it did that. I don't use any sealer on the gaskets. Did not have any vacuum leaks. Almost looks like an install issue on my part. I always trim the gaskets to get a perfect fit. I install a new set, we'll see how they last. But looking for a stronger gasket. Thanks for all who posted info.
