Bill,
    Use the narrower of the two gaskets ONLY.  I speak from bitter
experience.  I thought that the wider of the two gaskets should be
used.  As a result, it didn't fit easily inside the grove (which is hard
to tell that the gasket is not all the way in due to it's orientation)
and resulted in my loosing all the oil and hammering a rod bearing.
This in and of itself was bad enough, but I had to add insult to injury
and have it happen on the Tacoma Narrows bridge, backing up traffic for
about ten miles (even got on TV).  I have since put the narrow gasket in
and left it there.  The same gasket has held through 15 to 20 oil
changes and has not leaked at all.  When it starts leaking, I'll change
it again.

Good luck,
Dave
