Sump gaskets for pinto
Hi
can anyone tell me if it is worth getting the performance sump gaskets over the cork ones. the car gets some track action but mainly hard road stuff,
i do live near the north yorkshire moors after all!!
Gaskets i've seen are here
LINKY
PS - the reason i ask is that my current sump gasket is leaking from the front and wondered whether this may because i have over tightened the sump
bolts and squeezed the cork gasket too much leading me to think it may be worth paying the little extra to get the paper one - or is it a con 
Cheers matt

just use red hylomar with the gasket strips... helps assemble them anyhow.

can you use a semi hardening gasket sealer with a cork gasket?
Thanks

Surely if a cork gasket is leaking/weeping, a paper gasket will be worse?
