    While shopping for oil pan gaskets, I ordered several sets and found some interesting observations.

    The Fel-Pro OS30185C is a 2-piece cork-rubber gasket for the oil pan rail. It measures about 0.090"
    The Victor-Reinz 10-10189-01 is pictured everywhere as a one-piece oil pan rail cork-rubber gasket but the one I recieved was the 2-piece, identical to the Fel-Pro.
    The Mahle OS31582 is a one-piece cork-rubber oil pan rail gasket. It measures 0.125"
    The Cometic C5145 is advertised as one-piece pan rail and supposed to be 0.125".
    TA is thicker than all at 0.187" and the picture shows one-piece pan rail.

    The distance between your oil pick up, and the bottom of the oil pan should be checked before you make a decision on the thickness of your gasket.

    Did that and it turned out to be just over 3/8" with the 1/8" gasket

    I would use the .090. over 3/8 is a little much. I believe 5/16 is the target measurement
