I know ive asked this before to make sure before i bring the Rat back to life i bought a Melling Oil Pump,but it came with no munt gasket,and nobody even lists one.not even summit,why i am curious is because the old pump had one,unless someone made it.Im not a engine bottom end expert so any info would be appreciated,i think i asked several months ago,but since i cant remember yeasterday-well you know blah blah!!

I've never used a gasket there. Just draw file the surfaces to insure flatness..
