Re: Oil Pan Gasket- cork gasket or seal packing - or both?
Cork isn't the best these days, but the key is to not over torque the bolts. I also use the oil-resistant RTV to help hold it in place while reinstalling the pan, and seals the cork surfaces from absorbing any oil.
Install the pan with the gasket that has been coated with sealant on both sides and allow the sealant to fully cure. Then retorque to spec. Good luck!
