If I'm remembering correctly, you are working on a Subaru. My first
stop would be to find out what Subaru says to use.
If your particular car is prone to a leaking gasket, you might use a
coating like Hylomar (www.hylomar-usa.com) in addition to the gasket.
Guys used to use it on Harley Davidson Shovelhead engines which are
prone to leaks.

Subject: Balancer Bolt and Oil Pan Gasket Question
OK, I was able to remove the balancer bolt by removing the oil pan and
laying
a 3/8 breakdown bar between the crank and the block.
Now this brings up the question for the oil pan gasket. This always
seems to
be a sore point for leaks in most of my cars. Which type gasket is
best?
Cork, Rubber, Paper or RTV/Silicone? Anyone have any experience or
information to which is best.
