I had no idea that a cardboard head gasket would last more than one revolution! That is one abused engine.....

On the other hand, if that was a base gasket, it looks like a Cheerios box is a better bet than a green Athena gasket. Hmmmmm.

Wow! Someone cut a head gasket using a cereal box. :sick:


Did someone really use a cereal box for a head gasket or was it used for the base gasket? If it was used for the head gasket then that's the funniest thing I have heard in weeks!
