What you aim for is a uniform compression on the cork gasket along the radius seal. There is a one minute cure black silicone called the right stuff that you can get at any car part store - you needs to add a little of this on the gasket to filling in any small areas. 24 cure. do not over torque your pan bolts. Check out the HHP Magazine article - that will help to. Be patient and take your time ( I bought two cork gaskets up front - just incase I screw up a cut or file to much off)

This is a common problem - not a simple slap it together and go. GOOD LUCK !

Seems like canton would make this info clear in some instructions or notes with the new pan. :rolleyes: Might have saved you a couple of re-installs and time spent talking to Todd. LOL Hope you get her sealed up and on the road.
