Gasket is not right. Back holes do not line up and not enough material to enlarge them. Will make one I guess.

Related question: What is the purpose of the spring on the oil strainer? Seems as if it has no purpose.

Used a NE brand oil pan gasket from 4into1 dry. Gasket is a bit thicker and can be "felt" when cinching bolts. No leaks!!!
