Not the answer he needs bud. There's two different types of OEM gaskets.

I prefer the paper one - it's really thick and feels more reobust to me. The cork one almost falls apart in your hands before it's even installed.

+1, cork ones suck to remove when they're old too. Knocked off two pans in a short amount of time, removed the cracked pan and the paper one was still attached to the block, whiped it down and put on the new pan, no leaks! :D

Sean, AlarmedBread,

That's the answer i was looking for. Thanks for the help. Now its time to purchase the paper gasket.

No worries. "Technically" you were right, so it's all good.
