If the gasket is gone (it's just a thin piece of insulating material), replacing it is a pain, but not all that expensive if you do the work yourself. You will need mechanics' tools - which some stores will also let you use (AutoZone is one).

Better yet just rebuild the eng. because the compression will be restored back to 10.5 to 1. Weak rings and other gaskets will give up and then you will have to rebuild the eng. anyway.Good Luck.
