Howdy mummdogg,
A lot of times I have to make my own gaskets to save time and money for my customers. Harbor Freight has a set of cutout punches to make the bolt holes. It's been a while since I bought the set, but they weren't more than $10. NAPA has rolls of gasket material and the left over will come in handy later. On machined surfaces I use a ball peen hammer to cut the gasket against the part, and anything else marker and scissors. Who said kindergarden's over! Torque your bolts for even squish and a gasket's only enemy will be heat or age which ever comes first.
