The best luck I have had is to ditch the end gaskets completely. Fill the voids with the best high temp RTV you can. Make certain the surfaces are CLEAN!!!!. Wait at least 48 hours before adding oil.

You jogged a memory Lynn...in circumstances of a rough pan rail I have done just the opposite, used the end seals and RTV on the pan rails. What ever works!
