When you remove the Fuel Injection Pump to put on the Gasket.

Either Glue the Gasket to the Block or to the Fuel I jection Pump so you can rotate the Fuel Injection Pump without tearing up the Gasket.

If the Gasket has round holes and you decide to mount it on the fuel Injection Pump besure to take a sharp knife and cut the Gasket Holes to match the Kidney Slots in the Fuel Injection Pump Flange.

When I removed my Fuel Injection Pump I bought a new gasket but decided it was too thin and fragile. I used the new Gasket as a Template and cut another Gasket from thicker Gasket Material.

It the pic. Where you applied the Chisel left a raise portion of metal on each side. When the Fuel Injection Pump is removed take a Fine File and flatten out the Bumps. So the Pump will mount flat later if you decide to rotat it.
