Simple question.Which is less prone to leaks? Paper gasket is more costly than cork,yet I still think cork would be better.Any thoughts?

Use cork if you want to replace it in a week.

yeah cork compresses easily and won't hold a tight seal for very long. I used some cork gaskets on the intake in my Dart, what a mistake..
