John,
IMHO the thicker the gasket the more likely to fail. I installed my rear
plate with Permatex Aviation Form-a-Gasket in Feb 2008 and it still only
leaks a drop every couple of weeks from the seal. The cam area is a
non-issue.
I also sealed the edges of the seal carrier with the same. I masked off the
outline of the engine and sprayed the rear plate mating surface with 4 or 5
coats of Permatex Copper Spray-a-Gasket.
No paper gasket at all.
