I am curious why Gasket Innovations is not in this discussion?
A.R.E. Joe Alexander and the Alexander Racing Enterprises team have a wide
range of silicone
reusable gaskets for many Triumphs, and IIRC, they were working on oil pan
gaskets some time back.

Subject: Re: [TR] [NET] Payen vs. Standard Oil Pan Gasket
As a rule of thumb, I try to use the better brand gaskets when they are
available. I cannot speak to
TR3 gaskets, but I find that the cheaper gaskets sometimes need "fettling" to
fit properly. I see
this all the time with the manifold gaskets for TR6 and there have been times
when there was no
choice available - just available. I chose "available" so I could drive the
car. The cheaper gasket
ate 2 hours of my labor to fit. The stud holes were off by 1 / 8 inch, plus or
minus. Ans one or two
holes were not the correct diameter.
That said, if you're like me, you buy the cheap one AND the expensive one and
one winds up either as
a spare or in the bin...
Good luck!

Subject: [NET] Payen vs. Standard Oil Pan Gasket
Greetings everyone ~
Opinion time:
Subject: Oil pan gaskets.
Without disparaging Moss, I note their 692-000 Payen gasket is $26.99
while their stock gasket (695-000) is just $4.99. Is the Payen gasket TR3
that much better?? Worth the $$ difference?
Dave
