Thanks everybody. Yes, it does make me feel better that I'm not the only one to forget the gasket.
I figured I was probably not the first one to snap the post off of the powervalve actuator plate either. I found out later that the trick there is to heat the nylock nut before trying to unscrew it.
Anyway, the top end is done. Head is on and torqued.
I taped, then tapped.
Thanks again folks!
