As a rule of thumb, I try to use the better brand gaskets when they are ava=
ilable. 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 choic=
e 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 d=
iameter.
That said, if you're like me, you buy the cheap one AND the expensive one a=
nd 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?
