Pat,

The owner dropped the engine in.

I was just curious what others are using and what has worked for them.

Didn't the builder use copper before?

I use that Felpro on every Pond block that I use. No issues with the larger bore. If you use the Cometics, I would at least try and spray them with Hylomar. Aluminum moves around so much (decks grow past sleeves) and you want the gaskets to do their best to seal.
