Tom, Here is what my gasket kit looked like on the WD45 I rebuilt a year ago. Maybe this will help?   We need some pictures of your project! Regards. Chris

Well that may change every thing!:) Sorry for the gas information, I am not a expert on any of this, and did not pick up on the "fire ring" being diesel engine terms.

Have not seen the latest head gasket but have heard they were made like the ones in pictures above. If it needs fire rings, I can make you some that that are better than what comes with gasket set. MACK |
