Getting the pan gasket surface clean straight cannot be overemphasized. Use a power wire brush to gently remove old gasket material if necessary. You can use a steel hammer if you don't have a brass one. Gently drive protruding areas around bolt holes back with the ball of a ball peen hammer. Use a large flat surface such as you coffee table to make sure the pan is not twisted or warped. A little time with a hammer and you can get the gasket surface very flat. I have a flat steel table I work them on. It is amazing how easily a good gasket surface will seal. If you use Form-a-gasket, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. I am always surprised how a 1/16 to 1/8 inch bead can be interpreted by the user to mean two 1/4 or 3/8 inch beads. If you use the right amount you get very little or no squeeze out. Nobody will notice you used it. I used to make all my gaskets out of paper grocery sacks (work well on water pumps, etc.) or gasket material. Started using the polymer goop a while back and was pleasantly surprised by how well it works if installed correctly. Had a head outlet to thermostat housing on an M that was a chronic leaker (corroded both sides) and it sealed like a champ with VERY LITTLE sealant. If you see it squeeze out you put in too much.
