Default Oil pan gasket and sealant

Hello!
Need to buy a new oil pan gasket for my 489ci BigBlock. Please can you recommend me a high quality one piece oil pan gasket that seals for 100%? And which sealant to use on the corners? Want to buy at summit or jegs.

Thanks, Günther

I went with this one piece gasket. Sealant free but does say to add a little to the corners. So far working great. Make sure you get the one with the four ‘clips’ to help hold it up during installation unless you have the engine out.

Are the stock bolts long enough to install this gasket.

Yes for a small block felpro offers a kit . Have not seen a bolt kit for BB gasket.

I was able to use the stock bolts on my bb with this gasket. Really liked the clips that held it up too.
