datsuns use phenolic (plastic) gaskets for this same purpose, so the theory behind them is correct. trick is to use one from a reputable company, i would assume.

i think xcessive or one of the other zilvia sponsors has developed one, i would go for them instead of ebay. also, you could always put sealer on both sides of the gaskets to reduce chance of a leak. and if theres still a leak you can hit it with a file/sand paper to get any high spots level.

go for it
