This seems to seal well against the machined surfaces of the block and tranny cases. But do not do a good job sealing against the stamped steel pans that have their own stiffening ribs. I use those gaskets with Hylomar on the pan side of the gaskets with good success. Non hardening Permatex would probably also do a good job there. I neglected to mention I will be replacing the factory pan with a deep cast aluminum pan. The last time I used the Mopar hard gasket that I mentioned in my original post that leaked was on my 71 Road Runner that had the factory steel pan on it. So maybe this time I will have better luck. Still tempted to use some sort of sealant though as I hate having leaky oil and trans. pans.
