Oil pan gasket for LA 318

RIBOATSERVICES said
I used the Felpro OS 34409 R Magnum oil pan gskt on my 71 340-416, just cut the one piece gskt up to match the old style side pieces and use the old style end pieces with a dab of RTV in the corners. Works nice with no crush issues.

You just cut the timing cover area?

Those corners are notorious for leaking.

Was there an improvement in sealing, and if so, why?

Thanks much.
