Soak the new set in oil over night, then out with the old, replace the gasket and in with the new.

also check your steels...too many "race starts" and they will have blued and possibly warped...i know its another thing to buy...

Just make sure you remember the order the plates are in. Dont want to be scrambling for the manual when your hands are soaked in engine oil. :pmsl

If i were you, i'll be bringing more than just the nitrile gloves home.

You probably have more access to all the solvents known to man than any of us here. Heh.
