FYI, If he has an old engine, he may have a "low block" engine. These used a regular head gasket like most engines. The one with the o-rings you describe is referred to as a "high block". You can tell the difference by looking at where the head bolts to the block. If you can see a gasket betwen the metal block and head, it is a "low block". If it looks like the metal head sits right on the metal block with nothing in between, it is a "high block".
