Just use the rubber one , most any brand will be made in Europe , I forget the Mfr's name , RENTZ maybe .
The biggest challenge is getting it to stay put as you wrestle the cover back into place .
I also spend (according to Tom) inordinate amounts of time had cleaning the entire sealing surface of the cylinder head as it's recessed here & there and just *one* bit of Road Grime will cause copious leaks .
Same if you pinch a wire or the tranny's vacuum tube....
Go back and try again ~ once the cover is lain , it must not rock atall before you add the 13MM ATF nuts & waves washers....

Lots of oil. Did I recently see this addressed. Did someone say only use a MB factory gasket or was that another thread. Could not find that message.
