My opinion is the gasket isnt as critical as the pan. I just put a new summit aluminum pan on mine and used the cheapy paper gasket drove it for a couple hrs last nite and its dry as a bone. Your results may vary. Just leave out the rtv. But if its steel, definitely the reusable mopar gasket.
THERE you go ... if the pan-rail is flat ... a cheapO cork should work fine !!

I just used the cheapo cork one with my stock steel pan, because I already had it and the the stores were closed. Used some of the red spray tack, no leaks here...BUT I would have preferred a steel/rubber

My experience has been this..... CAST aluminum pan : you can use the 2464324AC re-usable gasket. ANY steel stamped pan: use the cork/rubber impregnated gasket if the pan rails are straight.. I know some of you guys will cry BS, but I've had a FEW leakers and I'll stick to what I say. Nothing worse than a leaky pan after the blanket's on there...makes a messy scene.

I had never heard of the factory steel shim gasket til recently so I put one on my Duster with a deep steel pan. I used to always use good cast aluminum pans so the paper gaskets were fine.
