advance auto oil pan's gasket

[RagingPanda]

I ordered oil pan seals, front and rear, but it also comes with regular gasket. Do I toss them aside and just use liquid gasket or use them with liquid gasket on both sides?

i bought a kit from napa...and i ended up replacing hte front and rear seals and using liquid gasket. It says to use liquid gasket in the FSM

advance has this stuff in a aerosol can called "the right stuff". it's made by permatex. the stuff is like glue once it sets, it wont leak, infact it bonds the pan to the block so well that i bent the hell out of the pan trying to separate it when i had to take it apart.

I tried using the cork gasket that comes with the felpro gasket and it seeps oil out of it on the exhaust side. If I had to do it again, I would just use the rubber end seals and RTV like the FSM says.
