aside from the Heater core itself, do i need a gasket or any **** like that?

picked up the core from Advanced a few days ago.
 


I know that I am bringing a thread back from the dead. but is there any chance I could get a copy of that e-mail. I have to change mine before it gets cold up here. thanks.
 


Could I get that email?

My problem is that I thought I pulled everything apart but the pipes to the old core wouldn't come out of the fire wall. I was able to knock them out, but now I can't get the new pipes in. What am I missing? What haven't I removed? I don't knee why I'm having a problem.

The best part of this story is that I was so fed up with the heat stakes that I just ripped off the cover piece by piece. It can't be reused.

I'm about to give up. Any ideas on installing? Any idea on where to find a replacement cover? I can't find one. Worried.
