Can I use a one piece gasket? The other option is a four piece gasket two rubber and two cork. I prefer the one piece perm a dry but the gasket connects to the timing cover, and I believe what I call the rear main oil seal. Am I right about the rear main seal? And can I use a one piece gasket as opposed to the four piece?

I would say yes then. I hate using cork gaskets because they always seem to leak. Is the one you have a rubber composit?

Its actually made of permatex with what seems to be copper crush style material directly in the center one third the width of the gasket.

It sounds like a good one. Just make sure that you pean the pan (bolt holes) and don't over tighten it.

Let me know if you have other questions.
