I took my heater out again, because the core was leaking. I have a new core to put in. Question to anyone who has done this, inside the case there is a gasket the core nozzles go through before exiting the case. Mine is shot. If the gasket is left off, will it hurt anything? It seems to be there to keep the core steady, but I could use something else for that. It is a pain removing the heater and I do not want to do it again.
