Because errors and misinformation about the accidental release of two

It is not a 1985, because I also have a 1985 and it is not identical. But
it is a turbo so post 1982.

Generally if everything is 100% a thin gasket will do the job. With
ordinary engineering you do need thicker gaskets and some sort of goo.
Found this to be the case in Fords and such.
Really depends on the quality of the build, what brand of WP are you using?
