I am a noobie here , long time lurker and I dont have a model A but wife wants us to get one. Anyway After looking at your blown gasket I thought I would say that I have read a lot of threads on here and most of you use some type of sealer or grease on gaskets. This is fine , but if you have super smoothe surfaces it will push the gasket out . What you need to hold your gasket is teeth. Take a coarse file and rough up those areas that clamp the gasket. Make you some horizonal teeth on your faces to give the gasket something to hold to. Cork is the worst for moving when tighting .

Just my 2 cents yall carry on , my first post, POPS
