    so there's 3 different gaskets listen on pelican parts
    *hard waffle finish with a silicone bead
    *hard waffle finish without a silicone bea
    *soft waxy waffle finish without a silicone bead

    which one do i want and why?

                  Either gasket with the silicone bead will work better than a plain gasket. Don't forget to also replace the four rubber bungs each time you change the gasket. I've never had a problem with the VR gasket that has the silicone bead. But then that might be because the valves get adjusted every 10k and I use a new gasket and bungs each time.
                  The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
