I would use a mls gasket such as the 1142.
My sarcasm is a pre-emptive strike to your stupidity!!

The MLS gaskets work great AS LONG AS THE BLOCK IS SMOOTH! LOL That block I got burnt on last year wouldn't seal with them. Used the SuperSeal from Mr.Gasket. Stuck like glue! Too bad for the hidden crack beside the cam!
Oh and I found your door!
