To add to the discussion about gasket sets...

I've done a top-end rebuild twice, and in one case I recieved the plastic "blocks" that are sandwiched between the intake runners and heads. In the other case, I didn't. Also, when you ask about reusing the "sealing rings", which ones are you talking about? I suppose you might be able to pull off reusing the cylinder base gaskets, but I wouldn't reuse any of the others... especially the copper gaskets used to seal the heat exchangers to the heads. I tried, and until I finally replaced them, the car backfired continuously.
