EITHER the pan-rail is warped or bent OR the pan-bolts are way over-tightened.

But to answer your ques, RoadHazard makes a great gasket that has been used in many of the Of the "challage" motor builds. Koffel's place is going to start carrying them (MIght have them by now) Their link is in my sig.

I used hondabond on front and rear of pan and ultragrey on side rails, certainly didn't overtighten bolts. Had a thinner than usual rigid gasket this last time.
