We managed to match it up to the packet, can't find the photo anymore :(

Oh, and btw, this was the waterpump gasket.. not the head gasket.. forgot to specify.

weet-bix!! lol. haven't heard that since i lived in the UK!

cereal boxes make great gaskets actually.

I used to cut out my own gaskets when i would rebuilt dirtbike motors. Every Gasket can be made out of cereal boxes except for the head gasket. Everything else was fair game. Never had a single problem with those gaskets. Best thing ever!

Not sure I would use the same methods on a car though.

Found this jem tonight while replacing the arms on Rayban's car.




Went in with a 19mm to unbolt the outer most balljoint on the driver's side only to find it was the wrong size. . .WTF. . . finally got an adjustable wrench to get it off and found that someone had apparently buggered up the threads and instead of fixing the threads they just used the die in place of the original lock nut!
