The cork gasket, or the rubber one around the bearing. I have the motor on an engine stand, and have it turned over so that I am looking at the bottom of the motor. It would seem that the cork gasket would go on the motor first with the rubber bearing gasket then going on top in the corners where they overlap, so that when the oil pan is put on it will press against the rubber gasket first, and then tighten against the cork one, but I'll bet that is wrong. Thanks Allen | | |

I'll bet it ISN'T. You were correct Allen. Don't forget a little glob of silicone in those corners where the rubber and cork gaskets
meet. Make sure to hammer your pan flange real flat and don't get out the 24" cheater bar when you tighten your pan! :p
