Use the rope seal. It's the best solution.

I use the one piece seal exclusively. Either one will work just fine. I don't have a preference.

Stan I like the aluminum one with the outer O ring I found it centers nicely between the pan and front cover especially considering each are somewhat different in shape. Found no leaks at 200 MPH.
