I replaced the oil pan gasket with a cheap cork one on my 56.
Did same on my 60 with no concern.
Here I tightened to 120 in/lb (specs asks for 140-180) and cork is squeezing out a lot.
I used a very thin layer of gasket compound on each side thinking it would improve the gasket...
Should I get rid of it and replace with another grey/paper like gasket some sell?
A friend says he uses only gasket compound and no gasket here...
