Thanks Joe, appreciate you taking the time to post on the subject. Not too late as I am in the throes of Canadian winter up here and will not put the engine back in until spring as the shop I have the car in is not heated. I have the rebuilt engine in in my very small heated shop at my place and have been detailing and painting all the engine components, readying everything for the 'big project' once the snow melts. The gaskets that came with the rebuild kit are of a smooth, grey material that appears to have some kind of metal inserted into the plies. I will contact Olsen gasket and see what they have available for the 245-6. Also, quite a while back, I had seen an original Packard set of exhaust gaskets on Ebay and had bought them for eventual use. I'll check and see what type they are. Thanks again for the info. Chris
