I pulled the leaking head and found an aluminum flat gasket ring warped and out of shape. I ordered an\ new head gasket and got rubber o rings... is this the proper replacement? thanks for your help

Actually if you read the notation in the parts dept and on the parts list the o-ring was only used on the very early models. It was later replaced by the metal shim.
