General TR Oil Pan Questions

BTW, measured thickness of the two paper gaskets in the garage
Moss = 1/16" thick
Payen HC016 = 5/64" (slightly thinner)

I misspoke above, Payen is owned by Federal Mogul, not Felpro.

These sump washers spread the load.

I don’t use cork gaskets as they deform too readily especially if you try the 18ftlb
There are 2 other gaskets a paper one and a thicker card type. A smear of aviation permatex on either side of the gasket and you should be fine. If the tin sump has been dressed flat esp at the bolt holes

I use an ali sump and you don’t have these issues.

This is what I did with my OEM oil pan. I bought a sheet of gasket material and got a pro to cut it for me:
