George, just check bolts aren't too long. I run a tap down all mine to make sure they
don't bottom out, this can also crack the block....

Thanks daine, I'm going to measure them against the old bolts , think the old ones will be going back in as they are a lot stronger, good idea about running a tap down the hole I'm going to do that in future

Rubber gasket is bonded onto baffle plate, less chance of it leaking, that type you have tends to leak even when new
