Ive been told O-ringing the block is the best way to use these.

Not sure how many ways they can be installed.

Yes it is, but you also have to (forgive the spelling) anneal these, which basically means to heat up to the correct temperature so it will seal correctly.

Correct, but being new they will already annealed, but correct way is to heat with oven or blow torch to dull colour 350-450C then quench in water, then spray with Peratex COPPER COAT.

This is a great price for what is essentially a new gasket.
New locally manufactured ones cost $200+.
