NIce work.
I'm getting ready to do the head gaskets myself. Unfortunately one of my elring gaskets is damaged:
I have another pair of gaskets that came with my head gasket kit from Lucky8, but the brand is unknown... it came in plain plastic wrapping. They're tacky/shiny. Other than that, they looks the same as the elrings... so I was thinking to use one of each, but not entirely comfortable using no-name parts. Anyone used either and can comment?
I was about to order a set of Fel-Pro gaskets off of RockAuto for cheap, but judging by the picture they don't have the metal webbing that connect the cylinder rings... and I feel like thats a miss.

I believe that the hole on the elring gasket is a bolt hole, not a waterway, so I don't think the damage is going to have any effect. The waterway is the more rectangular hole next to the damaged one.
In addition, if you use copper gasket spray then it should take care of any sealing issues.

Its a good practice run for my other disco. theres so many I learned what to do and what not to do during the entire process. Cheers and good luck to all doing their head gasket for the first time. LOL!
