those look like mls gaskets, they will work. the 98s were graphite and not very good. they were needed because the 98s had an indention that had to be sealed. the 243s dont have the indention so you can use the mls gaskets. those are how mine looked.

Yeah..I got some more "air in a can"..It seems its more in the back bottom bolt hole by#8 and #7 cylinder's..The others are dry..It dosen't matter if the coolant is still in the water jackets right?..I mean i got most of it out, but im not compressing water jackets right?.
