I have used a paper gasket under the oil pump for over 50 years and never had a single complaint with it. You torque the pump to the block and it is done.
I am not a fan of copper gaskets as copper is soft and over time any torque you used to attach the pump to the block will be different. Not saying the pump will fall off the engine but the seal may not be perfect (like when first installed). Just my thoughts on that subject. If the engineers thought they needed a copper gasket under the pump they would have installed a copper gasket under the pump. Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
