When making sure that top and bottom cylinder gaskets don't block any channels in the cylinder, how do you go about trimming the gaskets ?

Do you have a bracket to mount them on the cylinder and then cut along the channels with a knife? or

Do you just hold them against the cylinder and mark the gasket with a pencil and then trim with a pair of scissors? or ?


Is it normally necessary to trim the top gasket?

Seeing as nobody answered.

I just use a nice sharp modelling knife. Fit the gasket to the bottom of the cylinder and trim away the overhang. Quite a simple job.

Head gasket shouldn't need any work, unless you've gone over size on the bore.
