Heres pics of how the gaskets fit. You can see they are not round, as the cylinders. Their is roughly a 1/8th in gap all the way around, except for the extreme top of cylinder, and the gap is wider at the center of the cylinder. I measured them with a vernier, and as close as I could get. Vetically they measure 3.963 in, and horizontally they are 3.763 in, that is at the wide point.
One pic is with out gasket, the other is with gasket.
